It is a flywheel, on solid spindle bearings.....all WITHIN a [vacuum] containment vessel.
And vacuums leak.
That is like saying you can't take scuba tank under water,
because the compressed air in the tank, would leak out.......
Scenarios......
1/ Yes, you may have a faulty scuba tank, and then the compressed air could leak out of your scuba tank,
eventually equalizing with the atmosphere outside the scuba tank.
2/ But.....if you have a properly constructed, and fully sealed scuba tank, and you submerged THAT tank. the compressed air would remain, inside the scuba tank.
Same with
a sealed containment vessel [holding a vacuum].
If the containment vessel [in its construction] was fully and successfully sealed [from the outside atmosphere],
then no atmospheric pressure from the outside, could enter into, and displace the vacuum, within the containment vessel.
You wouldn't even have to have power cables going through the wall of the containment vessel.
You could build a properly [designed] sealed power connector, into the wall of the containment vessel,
and then, just plug external cables, into that sealed power connector in the wall of the containment vessel.
Pedantic.
Yadda is.
