No, you don’t need to match. Don’t make this harder than it has to be.
Many of us who have been doing tubes for a while, actually prefer to mix different makes of tubes across our available slots. The positive attributes of each tube brand are often additive, rather than working against each other. Like adding different seasonings / spices to a dish. This also makes for infinite combinations to try - but don’t go too far down the rabbit hole. RCAs generally mix great with anything else (Sylvanias too).
You can certainly use the same brand + make all the way through, and sometimes this works great, but especially with Mullards - it could end up being "too much" of that one flavor. I had some amps where if I put in British Mullard EL34 and Mullard 12AX7, it would be like having a quilt blanket over the speakers. Many VACs tend to have an inherent "sweetness" to their voicing, too. I definitely wouldn't overload a VAC with Mullards, and that's certainly not something Kevin ever did (as far as I'm aware).
