I think the size just determines the "maximum" amount of RAM that can be used. So your basically your allowing the tmpfs to consume upto 50MB of memory. I never seen an issue on Beaglebone Black and AM57 with the current tmpfs being too small. Are the problems your seeing related to a particular application/demo? If its specific to a particular platform maybe just create a custom fstab for that platform.
