Besides either an insulated shaft or a good low capacity shaft coupler and a grounded metal shaft, if the capcitor is directly across the HV, something like 10 Megohm from rotor to ground. Otherwise, the rotor will float up to about half the DC, which may be inconvenient. But it does have the advantage that there are no moving or wiping connections for the current to flow through.
