(3) To minimize the electrical paths to the outside world, make the

This way only 8 leads are needed, instead of 11 minimum, for a
standard nixie.


Good thinking! The glass wafers for 9 pin miniature tubes ought to be available in bulk, as they are used for that good ol' 12AX7.

The only question is how to connect a big bulb to that little T6-1/2 wafer. I'm assuming that you'd want to make big Nixies, since there are thousands of little Nixies floating around.
