I Think You're Good to Go...

Wow, I can't believe the number of replies recommending that you screw up such a nice design with solid state devices. Anyway, if I understand your question correctly, the bias supply doesn't need to provide any additional current. 1.5 mA should be plenty. This is one advantage to using a transformer rather than a choke. In my amps (below), the bias supply has to provide all the current that flows through the driver. In yours, quiescent bias current will be no different than a cap-coupled Class A amp. Grid current needed by the 845 when it enters A2 will be supplied by the transformer. Just be certain the cold side is solidly decoupled (bypassed).
