Seems reasonable.
There is little virtue in designing a transformer to have a super-low temperature rise, unless the utmost efficiency is a key requirement. Doing so would make it bigger, heavier, and expensiver.
Good show on finding the original faulty lampholder (before cooking the transformer!). And yes, verifying that both halves of the waveform are contributing to the HT is a very worthwhile task,
