If the intelligentsia, and new petite bourgeoisie and labor aristocracy tend to be reactionary and tend to align with the bourgeoisie, how do we get to keep the infrastructure that they run without them holding it hostage against the revolution?

In the Soviet Union, excessive wage leveling, corruption and corrosion caused by the second economy and the failure to crack down on it, and a failure to maintain a living and vivid dialectical materialist science and living practice of constructive critique, in particular in regards to the CPSU and the party line, contributed to the reactionary character of these classes. After the revolution, doing better on these points will help keep these classes more loyal.
As for the revolution, the key is to secure the class power of the proletariat as expressed through mass organizations and the communist party and the proletarian state apparatus. New intelligensia etc. can be grown by public education. Political Commissars can ensure officers and the like stay in line during the revolutionary period. The key is to make opportunists conform to the revolution because it is in their best interest, and to weed out committed reactionaries and remove them from positions of power, and help them all grow past their false conciousness.
