I think that there might be a couple of reasons to proceed with caution.
1. Liability... I really would not want to be the person operating the CRT checker, if that test blows the heaters, unless the owner of the tube
fully understands the the possibility that the test might "finish off" the tube.
2. If the heaters blow it is indeed "game over" for the tube (except for rebuild). If they are intact, there still might be a very slim possibility to save it... Perhaps Scotty can re-flash the getters?
just my 2cents (or less) worth,
