The problem I could see is when switching off: if the bias goes down while
the cathode ( rather than filament) is hot, it could lead to problems with
stripping. It might not do a thoriated filamenmt much good, because you
start running out of emission, but generally, their thermal time constants
are much less than cathodes.
