But if this is 5 time constants, it's still far faster than the rise time of
the envelope.

What current gain? As over at least part of the input cycle, there's no
input current, current gain is inapplicable. Do you mean transconductance?
If so, then the parameter of interest is transconductance at each value of
grid and screen grid volts. Which might explain why some tubes are
apparently good (according to claims) in the DAF circuit and others
noticeably aren't.
