Several different guides and GMs over the years have directly told me I could potentially eat a ban if someone AFK's at the wrong time for even a few minutes. I take them at their words. When I first started here a guide explicitly suggested it would be prudent to make it as obvious as possible we're separate players, so we did. Why not? Years later a staff member directly said it was unwise to let a then-6 year old play and we'd risk a ban if we did. Again I'll take his word. Why shouldn't I? Finally, if you don't think joint pain can interfere with someone's ability to perform specific coordinated movements on demand then all I can say is enjoy your obviously good health in that respect.
I don't think I'm feeding any troll by suggesting folks make the staff's job as easy as possible to try to reduce the odds of human error.

We talked in PMs so I'll mostly leave it to that, but I just want to point out that there's a huge difference between an adult and a child playing EQ. A six-year old might have difficulty following even basic instructions like running in a circle, so the GMs were right to caution you.
An adult (even one with joint pain, RSI, etc.) ... if they are capable of playing the game of EverQuest ... is capable of passing the boxing test. Unless they conveniently go AFK right as you get asked to perform said test ... but (again) you'll never be asked to take such a test if you're actually playing the game like two humans, and not soloing with the second account supporting periodically.
I can't say it's impossible, but it would take a true "perfect storm" of A) you "soloing with wife support" (ie. looking just like a boxer; hard to do with two actual players), B) wife goes AFK
just when you get asked to test, and C) wife can't come back from afk in a reasonable amount of time ... which is very improbable.
