1/ FACT, your flywheels are of unknown strength, and this worries you.
2/ FACT, you propose a modification that will have unknown effects on various parameters, and this is for safety?
3/ FACT, we don't know of any lister or listeroid flywheel explosions associated with normal RPM
Being afraid of something is not unhealthy, your flywheels have a speed at which they will burst, this speed is different for every flywheel, you can only determine this speed by spinning one up until it gives, spinning one up to 1000 rpm and it not blowing won't tell you it is safe at 650, because you may have just induced flaws in it with the 1000 rpm test...
You're not trying to buy an engineering quality here, you are trying to buy piece of mind by doing some engineering of unknown (possibly negative) net value. Basically you are trying to sales / marketing / bullshit yourself that the product is something other than what it is.
Flywheels don't burst because you lacked faith in them, or insulted them, but because yield strengths were exceeded.
Live with the fear and nurture it so it turns into respect, and respect will make you balance the motor and dramatically reduce stresses, bolt the sucker to 2 ton of concrete and dramatically reduce stresses, and never over speed it and dramatically reduce stresses.
