The PNP transistor acts like a load switch, which is driven by the NPN transistor

Why not just use the NPN as the load switch? Sure its not as sharp a response. I'm asking due to lack of experience.

In the NPN configuration, the output voltage to the load is determined by the VB- VBE drop. The NPN config is however suitable, if you need to use it as an effective filter.
