- Having the L in the resistor is different from having it in series with the resistor/inductor suppressor. Whether the difference matters is unique to your amplifier and its gain/phase characteristics

- I can't help but think that a low inductance Xc=5-10 ohms from cathode to ground would make a big difference to the calculation. Cutting the loop gain by 7-10dB is a good recipe for better stability.
