What is the opinion nowadays on using the original tone control by

He states in the article that it works best with a high gain tube like a
pentode (EF86?).

Actually, it's OK within the sentence structure the OP chose,
"he states." It would have been more appropriate if he had
said "he stated," true, but his choice isn't incorrect. The phrase
""In the article..." is implied by his use of "he states." Of course,
English may be different in Oz... ;-)
I would rather use 12AT7 and put a 5687 as a cathode follower after it.
** No need exists to use anything .
Any CD/DVD player will drive a valve power amp to full output via a passive
attenuator.
Even a Quad II.
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.
** Really ??
Got no toy trains left to play with ??

Hey, Phil - don't be such a ****. Maybe he's building a guitar
amp. Some of us do, y'know.
