I think, it will help almost nothing, to not store repetition draws in the HT. The 50 moves rule can be hadnled with a bit more care. For example, if current-search-depth + game_50-counter >= 100 (or something like this), don't allow cutoffs from HT, just use it for move ordering. If it makes an engine stronger is doubtful.
