I frequently do large grocery trips with my bike and the rear tire always looks smushed even at 80 psi (26×1.95). I was thinking of over inflating another 5-10 psi but not sure if this is going go lead to other problems.

You can get special tyres designed for tandems that can handle more pressure / load.
