In your experience, is it worth tube rolling with the Moreplay -- is it sensitive to different tubes? Lots of 6V6 out there and they're relatively inexpensive as far as NOS goes these days ....

You have nailed the whole point - 6V6s are cheap and plentiful. Why not roll tubes and decide for yourself?

It really depends on your entire system, not just the Moreplay.  The amps, speakers, sources and cabling must also be sufficiently transparent to allow you to hear potential differences.

Given a sufficiently transparent system, the Moreplay will absolutely allow you to hear differences between tubes.  Whether the sound is felt to be better or just different depends on the listener’s tastes and preferences.  It’s a relatively inexpensive experiment.
