Is there anything special you know about testing a cap
in-circuit with a meter like this? Am still a little worried
about maybe damaging my LCR meter.

any doubt

The meter being damaged is not a problem if things are
discharged. The other issue is will this meter give accurate
in-circuit readings? ESR meters use a very low AC voltage of
typically 100 mV, a frequency of 100 KHz or so, and a very low
source impedance to make the test. This minimizes the influence
of other circuitry in parallel with the capacitor on the
measurement. If your meter uses a higher voltage or places DC
bias across the capacitor, in-circuit test results may not be
accurate.
