Most common tube testers can't even test for noise. Having a backup set is the best idea if the cost is within scope. But, of course, tube ownership is the gateway to tube rolling, so I would not be surprised if you purchased alternate brand tubes to add a little flavor.
I also think that the longer you own tube gear, the more likely it is that those thoughts will recede into the background as you focus on the positive virtues of tube ownership. Enjoy the voyage.
Follow Ups:
In terms of tube rolling, I found the keepers for my set-up, and fortunately a set of the Russian tubes are not too expensive as a back-up plan for a low-power headphone amplifier. I have enough orphaned tubes to check the status of my keepers, or troubleshoot in case of any 'questionable behavior', but I might get fixated on the different presentations and forget what I was trying to do in the first place...
