You don't tap off the B+ for bias. You tap off the AC and rectify that.
Bias will appear immediately.
The biggest advantage to tapping off the HV AC is that bias will follow the tubes current draw quite well, protecting the output tubes. The biggest disadvantage is the potential for noise. In PP that noise will cancel in the output transformer, however in single ended amps, bias needs to be fairly quiet.
