If I remember correctly, in the canon first book the Stone is meant to be used to make a potion.
Yes, it's used to make the Elixir of Life.
I don't have HP&PS on hand, but if true, that'd be evidence for your theory. That said, while Transfiguration sickness is canonical, it seems that the whole point of the Philosopher's Stone is to bypass concerns like that, so I still lean against it being true.
