To be honest, it's totally worth it upgrading and nowhere near as hard as
you think. A while ago we moved from 6.5.x to 7.0.x and we didn't have to
change a line of code. Since then we've tested our stuff with 7.2.x and
again, it's worked without a single modification.
If you get the time, setup a test machine, just install everything as usual
but put 7.3.x on instead. I think you'll be pleasently suprised.
FWIW, those errors probably relate to actual errors signalled by the backend
not correctly flagged/noticed by the client. If you have logging turned on
in the backend you'll probably get much more helpful messages out of the
log.
