I shield my control cavities with copper tape, and I'm very careful to have just 1 ground point, at the shell of the jack. Installing a capacitor between this single ground point and the jack shell can allow some noise to happen. It can also save your life if your gear puts a high voltage on the chassis. Its up to you to decide which path you wanna walk.
