Any large version of this capacitor has to consist of fine layers of material between electrodes and separators. Its structural ability will be very different f

  That is precisely correct. The article went to lengths to describe how they maintain cement's compression strength which is the primary stress axis for house foundations. It would definitely make constructing a foundation more time consuming (not the pump concrete out of a truck and fill up the forms that is is today) but there isn't anything in the article or their paper that suggests this wouldn't be a reasonable application. (again, maybe not cost effective, but that is a different axis of trade-offs)

    They don't mention = they weren't concerned. Yes normally it's primarily the vertical axis but you don't want these layers slipping sideways in case of light earthquake. Or water from outside getting in not only messing the electrolyte but also causing whole thing to swell. There are plenty of potential problems, needs much more r&d.
