I have it working, got it sorted out a couple of weeks ago. I installed a newer kernel (5.3.0) from the ubuntu repository along with grub-pc, and switched over to PVH no problem. Switching between PV and PVH is just a single command in Xen, so pretty easy to switch between them if booting fails.
Hope that helps,
Anna

I'm reading up with a plan to either switch over manually (trying to get my head around the instructions and fallback options if it goes wrong) or preferably migrate to a new 64 bit Ubuntu 20.04 host (although 2 weeks seems quite tight given I am currently balancing work, with family and looking after my dad).
