I’m rebuilding a Digital Designs Z2 .
The amp uses the 22uf 250volt bipolar caps .
Are these a critical part wondering if I can switch the values of these say to a 10uf or a 33uf 250 volt bipolar cap ?
I would use the Mylar caps but I don’t have enough room on where they sit in the board with all of the other components in the way .

Usually the same size or larger is ok.
Use something high quality..
Nichicon, Panasonic, etc..
Name brand and same voltage unless you know what you're doing.

Yes they are good quality caps not eBay caps .
I can get a 10uf of 33uf cap from the electronics store near me

The added capacitance shouldn't be a problem.
Can you get the right value from that same store? That would be the best option.

Would this work in place of the caps that were in the amp for replacements

If it's in the signal path, something like this..
Audyn Cap Q4 22uF 400V MKP Metalized Polypropylene Foil Crossover Capacitor
If space is small, can use these in signal path..
UES1H220MPM Nichicon | Capacitors | DigiKey
Or larger value
Use the 50v spec.

Neither of the ones you listed will work .
The first one is axial lead not radial so it won’t fit it the space allowed .
2nd cap is only 50 volts and needs to be 250 volts

You never stated in what part of the amp these are intended for. I'm only guessing that it's for the signal. Signal is usually only a few volts, and often many amps will still use a large crossover cap in place rated at 250v, even when a small volt cap will work. Where are these in the circuit? I wouldn't use a polyester cap in the signal.
Also, the link you provided is for a 0.22uF cap
In the first post, you wrote 22uF
Check the value again
