Re: When to Choose ZL vs. MCZ
>>> it feasable that these 15 electrolytics would boil due to overheating, and not one other single component in the system fail? <<<
Absolutely!
Other parts don't have to deal with pressure effects from liquids, gases, and gases in solution.
Capacitors are filled with liquid which expands and contracts with temperature even if there is no significant gas present at first.
Heat them up enough and they are going to pop.

In fact heating them up -too fast- can do the same thing if there is gas present. Warm them up at expected heat-up rates and some gas goes back into solution countering the effects of the expanding liquid. Heat them up way too fast and the gas can't absorb (get out of the way) fast enough for the expanding liquid. - Pressure spike.
