Leaks wouldn't be a big issue because the pressure would be similar. You'd need to fix them, but you won't have the air suddenly rushing out.

I'm assuming you mean sealed buildings inside the blimps here, because you'd have nowhere to walk to on the outside on account of being 50km above ground. In which case you probably wouldn't need anything in the case of a leak.

That's what I meant. No need for fast closing bulkheads, just get everyone out to another sealed building inside the same aerostat at whatever speed it takes them to walk to an exit and get in their protective non-pressurized gear. Outrunning gas diffusion is easy.
