It's hard to know what to suggest because I don't understand how the box arrived in the current state. That syslog.conf thing scares me. I guess that I would first verify that I have good backups. Then I would look at the two disks with prtvtoc to ensure that they are partitioned identicly. Then I would look at the special files for the disks to make sure that no one replaced them text files or something. If the disks are partitioned correctly, no hardware error are known, and the special files really point to the device, then it has to be ok to attempt a resync. Or least, I think so. So I would cross my fingers and try:
metareplace -e d50 c1t0d0s5

No moneyback guarantees. Objects in mirror may be closer than they seem. Packed by weight, not by volume. Your results may vary. etc...
