If I bump it up to 60% speed, it's completely inaudible to me.
Took another listen and I hear it at 1.0x speed and a few notches lower. The interesting aspect however is that unlike many other sounds that may become clearer as you slow down the song rate, this one seems to do the opposite - it becomes less obvious the slower the song plays.
Taking that into consideration, I'm ok with removing the requirement on that note, and I'll leave it up to you.

So after a subsequent listen, I still find it difficult to hear this. What likely is happening is minor differences in the general hi-hat sounds. I'd be fine leaving it in then.

I didn't want to add the 16ths in 50.42s, 51.31s, etc. because the more relevant sounds of these sections make them inaudible on 1.0x rate. Same idea with placing a 16th at 56.87s between the jumps on 56.72s-56.95s, etc.
49.75s,etc.: So basically kinda like filler for a more streamlined chart, except the sounds do exist. I think that's fair. Another alternative is to ignore the hi-hats but the filler can be the 8th drum that also exists (e.g. 49.90s).
50.42s,etc.: Yeah hence why I hinted at cautioning about the potential of making the chart too busy. Listening to these hi-hats compared to the ones at places like 49.75s, they are certainly a bit quieter, so that's a sensible decision to omit these.
