Yes, it's been discussed here before, and, yes, there are cons to this arrangement, like a potentially charged caps when the plug is out.
Then again, when you use a switch with the caps behind it, there is an inrush current and a spark.
Plus, caps do not draw power. Even when conducting current.
So, on average.....it does not matter much. I would leave it as it is, which I always do when restoring Philcos.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
