Although it could if the "minimum required plate supply resistance per plate" in series with the rectifier is not met. Please see the thread linked below and study Rating Chart III of the 5ar4 datasheet linked. There seems to be little understanding of this by those who espouse the LSES and other such supplies.
I would not use 83 MVR with the low DCR input chokes, IME.
UF4007 diodes or 5U4G, never an issue after several years of use.
Never used additional resistance with 5U4 types.
