OK, I see that what you're doing is identical to the Scott, other than the CT for the filament winding and parallel filaments. There's no problem paralleling the anodes within a single envelope. You don't need balancing resistors, they'll just degrade supply dynamics. If it were me, I'd consider copying the Scott schematic in terms of the 30 ohm resistor and first two filter caps. Increasing the second cap to 40uF or so might be beneficial, but only if the power supply sags on extended low-frequency passages.
