Yes
I have done several of those but the C8s I wouldn't bother with.They work but they depend on the power supply of the amps unless you build a separate power supply to run each C8,that would work well.
On the Mc30s if you are going to run them on electrostatic speakers, it is best to use a film cap power supply as I did here.I use a 100uf@600v EC concepts poly along with two 30uf@600v polys.I use 60uf off the 5U4 which is fine which is two in parallel and then I use the 100ufpoly in place of the 80uf section and then I use a 35uf@500v poly in place of the 10uf.
For the .047 uf caps you want to use k40s,vitaminQ pios,or silver micas as I did in these amps..I also used pio caps and nichicon muses for the other caps..I can give you the whole list of what I used.
Now,the 12k resistors have to be changed to 5 watt WW or carbon film.
Noticed I put the caps in with amazing goop which holds well and you can pull them off without chassis damage if you go back to original.
