My guess is the inner tube either needs to be:

Use a flexible, rubber-safe, non-hardening adhesive.
The soft inner tube still needs to stretch extremely at the "V" leverage points when the thick hardened old rubber tire runs over a sharp obstacle.

or

-It need to be fully free-floating.
Maybe a ton of talcum powder/graphite powder. Those make break down rubber eventually.
Or a silicone lubricant oil fully wiped on thick with a brush.
This may still pull laterally at the valve stem.
Rubber glue could be added next to it on both sides. The rest lubricated.
