In the end there are trade-offs and everything is a compromise. One of my DIY amps had an output tube (KT-120,one of four) short plate to grid. Fortunately there was a 1K grid stopper that limited current so the secondary of the expensive interstage transformer feeding it wasn't damaged. Wasn't enough current draw to blow main fuse. The grid stopper did send up a smoke signal clueing me to the problem.
