You could share the same Home folder between two different versions of the OS and for the most part it would probably work fine, BUT you're going to end up with different versions of some apps for different versions of the operating system and in many cases their preference files will be incompatible between versions and that is going to cause problems.
If you need to free up space on the SSD, you could always keep your documents on a hard drive instead of your whole Home folder.
With a Mac Pro you don't have any need to mess with your current drive for that purpose. Just install another hard drive to host the documents.
...And back all of it up nightly to a nice big external HD.
