If you need a 24x42 for a low, then you’re probably right that the triple is your best option. However, 24/42 is way below what most tandem teams would spec even for hilly terrain.

It’s not hard to get a 2x system well below 1/1 gearing and still have the same high end you have. A low gear of almost .5/1 is pretty unusual on a road bike.
