RE: Vacuum tubed electronics is applicable to more than just phono preamps...

The story I heard is that the Air Force found that the Russians were using tubes in their on-board MIG jet fighter radar systems, for the reason you cite. Then of course, we had to do the same. This gave rise to the 6C33C-B in Russia and then to the 7241 (and maybe the 7242) power triodes in the US. An excellent example of beating a sword into a plowshare.
