We've got an adjustable stem for our tandem. I needed more than -17 degrees to get the time trial position set up, and it works for that. Neither stiffness, nor loosening of the bolt is a problem.

But it is ugly, and a boat anchor. Personally, I'd go with a fixed stem once you have your position dialed in.
