No you don't.

I think you should have a second power transformer and a separate service for that pair of tubes. You could have the power company install the second service on the other side of the house so they never get confused.

I agree. But the details lie in a schematic. It's easy to misunderstand what a person is trying to verbally describe when talking about electronic circuits. But if you would provide a schematic, even a rough hand-drawn napkin, the answer may become clear.
