If it was me, I'd go ahead and build the clock+thermometer, using a DS3231, which has a built-in thermal sensor. People have made 1-tube clocks, and there's no law against making a 2-tube clock. As I would say, reading a 2-tube clock is twice as easy as reading a single-tube clock.
When you find 2 more tubes, plug them in and now you have a clock for hours & minutes. Nothing wrong with making the seconds digits smaller, such as with 6091 or 5092 tubes. BTW, the purplish hue around the orange glow is a sign of excellent health. These tubes should last a long time, so you may as well enjoy them.
