There was an oddity last year when the 20 status nights benefit for Accor Plus was launched.

Those with a pre-August Accor Plus renewal date got 20 status nights.

Those with a post-August renewal date got 20 status nights when the benefit was launched, then a further 20 on their renewal before the end of the calendar year. This is likely how you ended up with Gold.

This weird situation was entirely caused by Accor, not Amex. It affected regular paid members of Accor Plus also. I don't think you have any way of getting your friend to Gold without them staying 10 nights this year.

Yes, anyone with an August to December Accor Plus renewal got 40 status nights last year, which explains how the three of you have Gold.

Your Silver friend must have a pre August renewal date for their Accor Plus subscription.

You used to be able to get instant Gold with an Ibis business subscription but I understand this has been replaced by ALL business which only gives you 10 nights

It was also not possible to hold both ibis Business and Accor Plus.

If your friend is in Sydney, ibis budget Sydney Olympic Park is selling for $59.50 per night this week. Booking 10 nights should bump them up to Gold (in addition to the 20 bonus nights).
