Few thoughts:
You didn't ask for this - but I offer it up anyway --- 86 the Spreadsheet.
2nd - Your playing NLHE with a buyin of 50BBs - which is a pretty shallow stack imo. So your format maybe working against you to a certain extent. We play with .25/.25 blinds. It may seem trival simply shrinking that one blind - but I've essentially just double everyone's stack.
I'm of the notion that you aren't accomplishing this:

keep(ing) it friendly, we'd limit the rebuys so nobody got too hurt, basically this was enacted for one guy that might have gotten his feelings hurt after losing too much
Limiting your rebuys won't prevent coolers or bad beats that will happen in any game.
Some said suggested switching to limit to eliminate people going broke. Sorry but that is somewhat LOL - I've seen it go quicker in several cases.....
Whatever you do - it certainly isn't cast in stone, so try something new out - if it works, great it works - if it doesn't --- find something that does.
It doesn't have to be a "Me or them" mentality
