RE: 6 volt rectifier tubes

What about long term reliability for a rectifier run at maximum rating? In a SE circuit there is a more or less constant current draw, and although there are actually new production tubes available I am not crazy about the idea of replacing a rectifier tube every 6 months, or however long they may last at full rating. I like the idea of using this tube as I have several but wonder how long they will last.
