It's probably okay to run the set without (any) tubes, but it might be a good idea to put a dummy load on the B+ winding just in case its voltage is able to increase beyond the insulation rating of the transformer (which is a bad thing). Can calculate that load based on the current drawn by the B+ and the voltage using ohm's law.
