If the XC Pro worked as a triple with the 122.5 mm spindle, it ought to work just fine with the big ring replaced with a bash guard, since the middle and inner rings don’t move.
I converted my 2010 Sam from 46-36-24 to BB Bashguard-38-24 by simply replacing the rings. I messed neither with bb spindle nor with front derailleur (lovely LX) except for adjusting the outer throw screw. After all, if the setup shifted the 36-to-24 fine before, it should shift the 38-to-24 just as well — as in fact it did.

I did replace the plastic cups with leftover Shimano cups.
