Presumably MTB wheels should be slightly less prone to blowing out, as they are higher volume/lower pressure than road tires. I'd still be tempted to swap the front forks for some disc forks for ease of use

No, it's heat from the rim that damages the tube, not the increase in pressure. IIRC.

It's a topic of much debate, but discs + tandem = bit of a no no really.

@swedeee third brake leaver I think. It's a drag brake, so probably with a thumb shifter type device with no return spring.

Ah, so worse as less rim-track to dissipate heat on.

Cable discs should be fine? Or are they not significantly better than V brakes - I don't think I've ever had a V brake bike

Ended up reading up on this recently. Thorn has an interesting bit of text on page twelve of their tandem brochure.
