My TR-4C manual shows V6 and V7 without tube shields and yet the sockets have the provision for shields. To shield or not to shield - that is the question.

I use a 3 1/2" 12VDC fan affixed to the rear of the final cage to help with cooling. Thanks for comments.

The short section of shield around the tube base is often enough by itself so some designers use it alone. Adding a full shield does not improve things and causes the tube to run hot.
