I think the instant on is only beneficial for regular use sets. If it's not on every day or more than once a week it's probably not going to help any more than say variacing a TV every power up. Cathode poisoning can occur if a tube heater is on for a pronged period with no emissions. Ask vacuum tube computer engineers.
But it probably is beneficial for a daily use TV.
