Assuming fermentation temperatures were right on target, I'd say you and B are right about the sugar. 17% is a lot, especially in a darker beer where you won't be ending up with a really low FG. I'm sure the rum didn't help, but your main culprit is the sugar.
Both chips and cubes have their uses. I prefer cubes because it's easier to control how much oak flavor you want and they can be left in there longer to let the yeast break the oak down further. When using cubes, your time measurement is on the order of months, as opposed to chips that are on the order of days to weeks.

I used 4 oz of oak cubes and get a little oak flavor
I used 2.5 oz of chips in a bourbon stout and can taste it better.
Will probably go with 3-4 oz in the next batch of porter. I want a pretty strong oak taste
