Make sure that the 470k resistors are each rated for 500 VDC or better. With regard to increasing the two series HV capacitors, the well-renowned Ken K4EAA at https://www.k4eaa.com/parts.htm suggests that 120uf 500WVDC electrolytics "... fit the existing mounting hardware perfectly, and the 20% increase in capacitance will provide higher power output". Like all things - don't overdo it!
