Don’t quite agree with that statement..... The d300 & d300s we’re/are plenty capable camera’s. I‘d stick with what you have and invest in some good glass that will make your Adventure going forward an enjoyable one. When you have mastered the Camera then and only then would I upgrade to a modern Mirrorless Camera.
Lovely camera, very capable

I too still had the nikon D300 ( shutter count 29443) with all the grip stuff plus the BL3 end cap and the EN-EL4a Batteries and charger. I had thought about selling it all with a couple of lenses . However what I would get for it all is not worth selling

This sounds like the same old story of wanting to engage in retail therapy for its own sake without knowing why, perhaps in the vain hope that it'll make you a better person?
If you're keen on photography, normally you need a camera, which you have a solid & capable example of. What's lacking? What doesn't please you about your images?

OK, so the real question is what doesn't it do that you want? I can think of many reasons not to use a D300 over a more recent camera, but it's more useful to know why YOU need something better.
As said, with a D5000 you'll have more pixels and fewer controls plus lower build quality. The D5000 will be lighter and may have better dynamic range, though possibly not (something you should check).
