Imho, a bleeder is a must for somewhere in the HT line, to cover the situation of all tubes pulled out. So if there have to be bleeders for series capacitor use, then their use for a global HT bleed function and their power loss isn't wasted per se.
Edit: The bleeder has the function of discharging the caps in a timely manner after mains is turned off (not with the function of somehow restraining B+ level).
