Is there any reason to avoid using tube socket PCB’s to clean up those connections a little?

Those make sense to me. The only caution I can think of is regarding the use of grid stopper resistors to prevent/minimize oscillation. Since they work best if connected with little to no lead between the body of the resistor and the grid pin, if a build calls for grid stoppers you might want to wire them directly to the grid pins and not to the pcb holes connected to the pins.  Just a thought.

cheers, Derek

You're adding an additional solder joint to each pin...John

Pretty sure those will only fit the CMC style tube sockets with pins.  I have used them a few builds with no issues.
