I started a project that would be rendered at 50 fps. Footage is recorded at 100 fps with the occasional 300 fps for extreme slow -mos.
Overall it looks pretty good at 50 fps, but during slow-mo (50 % speed) scenes it lacks the motion blur because there is no frame blending. So would it be possible to render the final version at 40 fps without having any issues? 100 / 40 = 2,5 frames blended into 1. Is that acceptable or will there be obvious playback issues?
I tried 25 fps but that is not the look I want. The footage is quite fast-paced you see.

Well, here's the big question: when completed, how will this project be played back? Since you mention 50fps and 25fps, I presume you're working in PAL.
If you're working in HD, you can render out at 720p 50 or at 1080i 25. To do the second one, just drop the 50fps comp into a 1920x1080 comp, and render with interlacing.
Now if you're in SD, the best you can do to preserve the motion is to render interlaced. Again, just drop the 50fps comp into a 25 fps comp and render in the proper field order.
