The traditional tube shields from the '50s& '60s were pretty tight on the tube - so they do not help with convection cooling-
They may help with 'shielding' though I have not heard an advantage -
Listen both ways and decide -
Some of the H.H. Scott shields had a spring to keep the tube securely mounted - could be good...
Happy tuning
Happy Listening
