Can I use double-sided tape to attach the plastic 5.25" to 3.5" caddies to the metal parts of the case
I wouldn't worry about vibration I'd be more concerned about heat as far as double sided tape is concerned. Perhaps some images and someone might have a suggestion.
I've used these sort of brackets which work well:

Otherwise I'd see if the vibration noise is tolerable with tape only.
The other thing to watch for might be drives overheating if they're enclosed in a caddy and then within a case, as there'll be little airflow around them.
I would still screw them to the caddy even if it's only 2 screws one in each corner.
I am asking about the caddies, will it be enough to attach caddies to the metal case elements with ds tape, or do I have to screw them too or maybe use zip ties as suggested on reddit?
Sorry 
if you can use screws then do so, if that's a problem the use zip ties, I just wouldn't trust ds tape.
Sorry
Another option is this I used this in my old server for 2 2.5 drives, I had no way to secure them but I had space to put them on top of the existing drive bays.
If there's good contact between the case and the plastic of the drive caddies, then you can also use a dual part epoxy adhesive, such as JB Weld or similar. This is going to make a "mostly" permanent bond though, So if you'd need to remove the caddies frequently to access the drive hold down screws, this wouldn't be an option. With the slightly flexible plastic drive tray inserts, so long as the drive tray surface is left smooth, you can usually pop the cage off if you have to after the glue sets. But not something you want to do regularly.
