There are several conventional ways tapered bearings
are preloaded.
The most popular are either with a collapsible crush
collar, or with shims and a solid spacer.
Check the pinions bearings on any conventional
automotive differential.
The only issue I would have with bellevilles are the
fact that they can unload under certain conditions.

Yes. The beauty of the PSRU taper, I think, is it is always
under thrust so the un-loading is un-likely.
