"My real desire regarding the V4 tubes is to get rid of the filament's cathode resistor and cathode bypass cap"
A V4 tube (octal base) is no more able to do this than an UX-4 based tube. In cathode-biased ac-heated circuit terms, the V4 has a centre-tapped filament, whereas with a UX-4 based tube you need need to derive the centre-tap either using resistors (and perhaps a hum pot) or by using a centre-tapped filament transformer. Using a V4 tube allows you to dispense with the two centre-tapping resistors, NOT the cathode resistor and bypass cap
Just curious, what cathode resistors and capacitors are you using? If you would like to dispense with them, filament or active bias are your options; however, probably best to leave either of those alone until you well understand how to implement them.
