I'm designing some 4160V UG distribution, with large handholes as pull points (6ft square handholes). Should I be specifying cable racks and grounding for these handholes, or is that not necessary?

I would think so. At that voltage, you want to ensure proper spacing.

Will they be terminated or just rolled in the vault?
If they are rolled will they be terminated in the near future? (10 years)
If they are terminated, definitely.
If they are rolled in the bottom, then we don’t.
(15-35 kV)

No terminations, just pulled through.

If it’s JCN cable I would not waste the money on racks and grounding that wouldn’t be connected to anything.
younwould have to terminate the cable just to connect a ground.

It's shielded EPR, not CN, but I assume that doesn't change your response, correct?
 
If no other cable will run through this handhole and no cross bonding is required and no need to ground sheath voltage limiters you may canceled tray and grounding connection.
