In case of a true emergency, would squeezing two people into one seat be that dangerous? (As in, is the safety envelope of the vehicle tied to weight in each seat?)

In an off-nominal re-entry, the people can be subjected to 9G's for a sustained time, and impulses much larger than this.

As a result you really want to be in a proper seat.
