Has anyone tried this approach to a "safer" Loftin White?

I found this on the Tube Cad website - https://www.tubecad.com/2015/12/blog0335.htm. It looks interesting and curious to know if anyone has tried this or something similar. I'm still a little unclear as to how the part values (type of NPN, resistor, etc.) would be specified but the approach makes sense.

Might not be in the less is more spirit of a Loftin White circuit but seems to address some potential concerns.

Thanks!
