'Save the day' implies there was any danger at that point.
There really wasn't. At that point the deck was stacked so hard against Boo he couldn't win no matter how stupid Goku and Vegeta acted - even if he killed Goku, that would just mean dead Goku immediately gets up and uses Super Saiyan 3 without drawbacks.

Isn't that assuming Goku could beat Buu in Super Saiyan 3? He thought he could but there was no gurantee.
But even if that was the case and Super Saiyan 3 Goku couldn't beat him Gohan would just come in eventually and easily destroy Buu so either way...
If Toriyama was going to due the whole pure Buu thing he really should have at least come up with a bullshit way for him to be the strongest like "absorbing all those people actually made him weaker because having a concious mind unintentionally put restrictions on his power" or some such nonsense.

This week I learned that making toast made for more compelling gameplay than DBZ.
