“I’m sorry but we can no longer continue to be friends.”

yes, and very much cold and formal, which is likely precisely what you intended.

It is grammatically correct, and sounds natural to me, as a 71-year-old middle-class Briton.

Correct, yes, or will be when you insert a comma after 'sorry'. Natural, no. I'd say 'I'm sorry, but we can't go on being friends' or Í'm sorry, but I don't want to be friends any longer'.

Suspension points after SORRY to add intensity. I'm sorry........................but we can no longer continue being friends. (a bit better).

Yes. However, it would be a more powerful statement if you omit the first three words.

Looks good to me. (But, I would prefer a comma after "I'm sorry".)

Yes it is fine. If you want you can make it better by putting a comma after sorry.
