Using avalanche rectifiers in series for higher voltages - equalizing resistors?

Over decades associated with that equipment, I have never encountered a rectifier failure, or even heard of one.
Pye, back when they still made transmitters (mid to late 1980s) used much smaller rectifiers, supposedly within their ratings.
They would "blow up" if you looked sideways at them.

That's kind of my mindset here. This project has many risk factors, and if there's any part of it I can just overkill and not worry about again I would like to do it. (Within economic reason, of course...)
Thanks again, everyone. Very helpful.
