That would need more parallel capacitors so that the first cycle doesn’t deplete the capacitors, and would result in a faster cycling rate than presently envisaged??

We’ll probably always need caps and switches to fire the first shot in a resonant circuit that could eliminate the question of the cap bank’s rated life at any given voltage. How to do that with only one or a handful of FF cores and cap banks will have a lot to do with who leads the initial manufacturing market due to elegant system design producing the reliability and price points required at any point in the adoption timeframe.
