If you let people use a inwad-palm grip, I think 5 pullups should be easier than 30 pushups for most people

I don't think so.

I think the problem here is the vast majority of casual weightlifters tremendously overemphasize bench pressing and neglect their back strength. 5 pullups should not be that hard for someone who can do 30 pushups. Having a disproportionately strong chest as compared to back is a recipe for shoulder injuries.
