Well, heatsinks will drop the temperature a bit, but capacitors still shouldn't be too close. Alternatively, one could put a fan in there and power it by the +5V output but this is nothing any enthusiast would consider due to noise (potentially including side-effects on the analog outputs). So I personally would still prefer to put the capacitors off the board in a safe spot. The transistors are becoming hot, granted, but they are not overloaded, and not becoming desoldered by the self-generated heat. At least that's nothing I have ever seen on any of the power supplies in my repairs.
