Attached is a schematics of DC Choke-assisted Mu-stage (as far as I know).

As I DIY novice, I would like to know whether this stage can be further improved by replacing the resistor Rk (at the tail of the pentode CF) by a current sink (triode) as shown. If yes, what're the areas of improvement? Lower output impedance? Better linearity in the pentode CF?

Any idea/advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
