we need to figure out how to more evenly distribute the workload
It does not matter how accomplished a rider(s) you are on solo's- When you get on a Tandem things change. You have the get those two 1/2 engines working as one. This will take a bit of compromise with both of you. And sounds as though the biggest compromise you will have to make is with regard to Cadence. It will not take long- About 500 miles or 3 months and you will be starting to work together. It does sound as though you are a bit low geared though- for the flat- but that 34 will still be a godsend up the hills.
Give it another 6 rides or so and you will both find that you will be settling into the Tandem. And you won't even notice it.
