I'd probably find 51 days at half G more comfortable than 17G days of 0G. I believe the plumbing would still work then and it absolutely would not work at 0G.

If your calculations are telling you that you can complete your trip faster while moving slower at every point along the way, there's something wrong with your calculations.
If your spaceships are not designed to function in freefall, you're going to have a very hard time parking them.
