First, ALC is not that fast. Most rigs can't even keep up with
themselves, let alone a loop from an external PA.
Second, any grid current will perturb grid voltage unless the grid
comes from a supply with low esr and good dynamic regulation.
Third, you are locked into cathode drive without complex circuitry.
