You are streaming to twitch. Twitch has issues quite frequently, almost as frequently as steam drm. Other than that, I see no errors or anything on your end.

After streaming with them for over a year I'm QUITE AWARE of their short comings. I was just wondering if their is any cool fix or maybe bitrate sweet spot i could hit to keep those low bandwidth/bad location viewers.

Seeing the number of people that recently had the exact same problem. Its twitch. You can try lowering your bitrate until noone buffers anymore, that would be the sweetspot. But some day its 3mbit, some day its less than 1mbit and the next week you can even watch 4mbit without a problem.
I got used to it and a lot of friends have too. Twitch sucks, their HLS change helped nothing but their wallets and I cant wait for hitbox etc to grow a bit bigger or maybe the return of Hashd. :)
