Default Aluminum Arrow Question

Long time compound shooter just getting into traditional archery and still very much in the early learning phase. I have a Bear Grizzly recurve 58" AMO 50 lbs at 28". My draw length is 28". I have 6 30" 2117 aluminum shafts on hand that have been here for years. The arrow spine charts say these are okay but I have already heard from numerous sources that virtually all the arrow spine charts recommend overly stiff arrows for recurve and long bow shooters. I know enough to understand that leaving arrows longer and or adding a heavier tip can weaken the spine a bit. My question is at 30 inches in length can I make these arrows usable in a 28" draw 50# recurve simply by using a heavier tip?

They make 200 grain field tips and Simmons makes a 190 and a 205 grain broadhead. Could I get good arrow flight from such a set up? Trying to find out before I bother fletching them up with 5 inch feathers.
