Meta comment: I really appreciate comments like this that breakdown problems to the first-principles physics and show their works. Thanks!



Full disclosure, I now think I badly messed up the capacitor energy calculation perhaps while recasting it from a battery system to a capacitor system. You probably don't need nearly that many just to store the energy usefully. But I estimate the other factors, like the discharge curves needing you to over build to get enough energy into the first 5ms, balance it out at to something vaguely fridge-sized anyway.
