I've worked on several makes of sets from that era-Admiral, Andrea, Zenith-that have the crt strapped down, and have never had a problem leaving it in place. Use your best judgement as to how tightly held it is. If they engineered it right that crt won't wiggle around. Most daunting are the bigger tubes-I had a 21" bw Zenith on the bench with this arrangement...but still not an issue.
The tricky ones are RCA's which are mounted to the cabinet, but just barely. I've yet to have one that was secure. Best to use a test tube to bench test them.
