Designing a tube preamp around obsolete tubes limits your market. However, it does give me one less thing to worry about. OTOH, one of my amps is designed around a 421a tube so who am I to talk.
I have a Hickok 600A on the way to sort out some 4 & 5 pin tubes and as a general upgrade. It's nice to be in good degenerate company.
