Ceramics will work fine in some circuits, but they drift in value much more than papers, and they're temp-sensitive. I always try to replace paper with paper, except for the AC line spike supressor caps (the ones that go directly from the line connector to chassis ground where the AC comes in). You should use special ceramics for those; not just regular ones. DEFINITELY don't use a ceramic in place of a paper in the horizontal oscillator, unless you like to sit with hands permanently resting on the horizontal hold, that is... They're bad news in the RF-IF as well. I use mica there.
