Basically having tensioners at some point, yes. There's a lot of ways to do it, including using idler sprockets, bare tensioners like you describe, or moving the bearing blocks farther away from each other via a Vex cam.
I heard from someone on 1296 that they used preloaded chain to account for chain wear-in so that they could run direct C-C without any change in tension over the course of a season.
