I strongly suspect that you can get all your data back. The arrays are not currently active (/proc/mdstat shows "inactive") so nothing is going to write to them. You can reboot without any concern on that point. Your priority has to be to sort out the read errors on those drives. Whether you have to change cables or controller or whatever, and reboot as often as you like: just get the drives in a state where you can reliably read from them. Don't perform any further mdadm commands until you have achieved that. Once you are sure you have the 6 drives with the highest event counts working, assemble them with mdadm --assemble /dev/md13 --force /dev/sd?1 and you will almost certainly have a working (though degraded) array. Then, if you are confident that the other drives are working, add them with mdadm /dev/md13 --add /dev/sdwhatever Good luck.
