gfxCardStatus (integrated only mode) is better in this respect so I use both and now I can say that the machine is very stable and reliable after all. After about a week of gpu-switch testing, however, I have to conclude that this solution has its drawbacks too: it works fine after shutdown (including abnormal or forced one), sleep, hibernation, but it does not prevent mbp from switching to dgpu on running graphic demanding apps such as googlemaps in browser. This saved me from frequent overheat shutdowns under blanket just to load the os (after overheat shutdown the system forcibly uses igpu but this state changes back after couple of boots so it becomes necessary to overheat again). The application runs from terminal, uses the same code as gfxCardStatus but writes the setting into NVRAM(PRAM) so machine remains switched to internal GPU on next boot(s)/wake(s). Please note that only source code is there so Xcode is requred to compile the binary. It seems that I have found more reliable or permanent software solution allowing to disable discrete GPU and use mbp (mine is Mbp 8.3 early 2011, Yosemite) with broken discrete GPU (failing to boot) than gfxCardStatus 1.8-2.2.1, namely.

There are thousands of such broken computers as this model was a lemon. It is not possible (in any practical sense of the word) to replace the GPU with a newer model, nor do any third party company produce alternative logic boards with newer GPUs that run macOS Mojave.

On Early 2011 MacBook Pro's with a dead discrete Radeon HD 6740M chips? It is not possible to update the MacBook Pro 17' Early 2011 hardware for supported use with macOS Mojave.

Just download the Boot Camp drivers from Boot Camp Assistant.app by clicking Action > Download Windows Support Software, then format the drive and install Windows 10, then install the Boot Camp drivers and run Windows Update to get the Intel HD.

How difficult is it to get either Mountain Lion or Mavericks running I have the same (2011, 13-inch) MacBook Pro and Windows 10 runs great on it. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
