Default Baxandall tone control, still good?

Hi!
What is the opinion nowadays on using the original tone control by Baxandall, as published Wireless World 1952? Is it still worth incorporating in a diy hifi preamp, or are there better circuits? (Link below

He states in the article that it works best with a high gain tube like a pentode (EF86?). I would rather use 12AT7 and put a 5687 as a cathode follower after it. I tried simulating his circuit in ltspice but got questionable frequency response, not sure if it was my doing or the tube modeling that was lacking.
