Yes, running 3.3 should fix that. You can safely delete most of those snapshots if you want to save some space. Also, you can edit user_conf.py (in sage/server/notebook) to change the autosave_interval to something bigger (this is #5371 that you referred to, although there we are only thinking of upping it a little, you might want to only save once an hour or longer).
