Lets talk about a path of least resistance.
If the insulator between the layers provides less resistance than the circuit itself,
then the probability that the electron will jump the insulator and recombine instead of going trough the circuit is higher.
Grounding one layer does not solve the problem. This results in the statistical number of holes in the plate equal to the number of holes in the ground. The potential between the plates stays the same.
Do you think there are initially no holes in the ground? Well then you just added them, and now they can recombine electrons. I am not sure how this will affect recombination, I just guess you will have a higher place for recombination (the whole earth), and when that happens ( a lightning strikes somewhere) – no more electricity for you!

Ok now if you don’t want any dielectric between the layers, this means you want a conductor there, as these are mutually exclusive.
This means the layers are connected and have the same potential, which means there are no current running between them.
This makes no sense in electricity generation.

The only thing here that makes sense is choosing the right thickness, size and configuration of plates and the dialectic material. The result will be that it will operate as a Condensation that is charged by generated X-Ray. I have some ideas what kind of configuration you might want to use to reduce the recombination, but I wont tell anyone until I am hired as an Scientist in FF team 😀
