Most DT Swiss rims specify and supply washers, but that's because of no eyelet. You'll only be able to fit washers on certain rims, as the profiles won't match. Lube the nipples, use brass if you can, and remember that a tandem wheel has a lot more stress and load than a conventional wheel. Spoke tension usually decreases with an inflated tyre on, but this shouldn't influence the initial spoke tension.
