Why have one tired crew when you can have two for twice the money!
My former employer tried going with two full crews on the same airplane on one of their ball-buster trips and got exactly the result you described, ultra.
It was an experiment but just didn't work too well.
I think you either have to go with three (IF you have a crew rest area...) or leapfrog (repositioning and sitting a couple days while the other crew flies for a couple days, etc.), counting on the airlines and the owner to not change their schedules (another big "IF").
I think any round the world, whirlwind trip is going to kick your butt and you won't catch up until you get home. TC
