DCM all of your post is valid and correct, But I disagree here. You still need the caps on the ESC oh yes, What the purpose is can be open to debate. At the moment from the simulations i've done on brushless FET drive it looks and behaves like a ripple current filter. But i'm happy to educated otherwise by a convincing alternative.

But the main points here are the same..
Caps needed...yes
Savox power hungry...Hell yes.
