InnoDB is preferred in almost all cases. A readonly table is one case where MyISAM _may_ be preferred:

* Simultaneous reads are not a problem
* Writes won't happen, so no exclusive table locks
* No transactions
* Smaller disk footprint.

If you do decide to convert to InnoDB, here is a checklist of things to consider: http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/myisam2innodb

No problem having InnoDB table with 50GB. Or even 500GB.
