The guild member limit can probably be easily changed.
The reason mods/admins can't access private servers without being in the guild is because that was Jiggmin's way of preventing moderator conflicts from happening. I think his philosophy was basically "if you don't want a staff member moderating in your server, you can tell them that or kick them from the guild as the server admin." Additionally, I added the ability for server owners to kick staff a while back, so that gets rid of that issue.
Most likely, any kind of edits to server owners being able to promote mods would involve setting their group value to 3 on the server. That would, in turn, disable their ability to kick people since setting a group of 3 automatically activates the admin+mod menus and doesn't show the temp mod menu, making server owners unable to kick. I could see about adding a command for kicking, which would probably be beneficial for regular PR2 staff as well, but we would still run into the issue of reworking the entire temp mod promotion process to check for a server owner in addition to checking if they're an admin. This could turn into a security issue with promotions on regular servers.
Long story short: it would be a lot of work but it's possible. I'll look into it when I get the chance.
