I've got a better way
Rail guns. Powered by deep dug silos which are air gap capacitors - charged by wind power.

I think the point of this rotary system is that the acceleration builds up slowly over time
So it's less stressful on the payload.
But I'm an electronics and chemistry guy, not big on mechanicals. Fuck knows if any of it works.

do mil-spec electronics worry much about acceleration?

I'm not allowed to answer that

Using only open source intelligence
I can confirm that silicon on sapphire chips guide not only missiles but artillery shells, function in space and their facts don't care about your options. or any opinion pretty much. Nevertheless, I have received the order to explode...

Given that the University of Queensland's HyShot reported back telemetry when travelling at Mach 7.5 (or after), doesn't that suggest there was kit onboard that would have to cope with high acceleration?
This was back in 2002 or 2006.

Artillery shells are a good example. They contain sensors and electronics these days. The 155mm shell gets accelerated to over 800m/s in a distance of about 5m. It's too late at night for me to figure out the g force involved there, but gut feeling is it's well into the hundreds.
