"Over a period of time, the 6X5 would first develop a heater to cathode short. As one side of the heater circuit is grounded, that means you will eventually have a B+ short to ground."

Why would one want to ground the heater at all?
With the heater winding floating it won't matter if the tube "develops a heater to cathode short".
