Pride got into it because someone suggested copying a CB
amplifier would be a good idea.

That would restrict you to class A operation. Efficiency would be
very low.
The second problem is very few transmitting tubes, if any, could be
operated with the screen tied to the anode because of voltage
ratings.
The third problem is you can't possibly make a broadband
transformer that would cover more than one or two bands, and it
would still have to be followed by a low-pass filter for each band
that was switched.
The fourth problem is the tube, with screen connected or bypassed
to any place but ground for RF, would probably be unstable.
