This is great news as maybe not as much of a risk for me to use on 
48kwatt coil after all, will order 500 caps and resistors this weekend.

Thanks for inputs indeed!

I can also second this. Myself and Peter Reid both run power levels
over 10kW with identical mmc caps for minutes at a time, with no
failures or even heating. These caps consist of 144 CDE geek group
0.15uF 2kV caps in series/parallel for a total of 0.15 uF at 24kV. I
run about 13kV in with a pole pig, and he runs an 8-stack mot supply
with potentially 19kV or so.
