If the upside of investing 50% of your pay was significant, the upside from your allocation as a cofounder should have been far more significant in a successful exit. To me, the delta between a paid off IOU and a return on equity purchased with a pay cut sounds like cheap insurance. But I don't know enough about your situation to say.
Reasonable people can disagree; I'm invested only in the idea of giving 50/50+IOU its fullest, fairest hearing.
