IMO, solo games are more than twice as tough, you'll get no breaks from anyyone (coaches, players, fans). You said the games are "more friendly than intense", why then are they so worked up? If it's a low budget league, then the players/teams pay minimal to play and if they've now decided they want to upgrade their refereeing, then it's time they pay both you and your partner. If things get to bad, they could always go back to the old way of calling their own fouls, etc.
There's alot you could gain from this solo experience but also some bad habits could develop. Hey, if it's something you want to continue with, let them know "we're all out here for some fun and exercise and that you won't yell at them when they miss a layup".
