-With the lower turns ratio the output transformer has wider bandwidth due to lower distributed capacitance. You don't even need it to be a transformer- it can work as an autoformer too (but you have to be more careful about DC Offsets).
The original Circlotron patents employed a bootstrapped driver circuit like you see in the schematic. But I think that is higher distortion and you can get into issues with blocking distortion and preventing thermal runaway of the output tubes. EV ran into a problem with this and so reduced the output tube grid resistor value to 100K and also increased the value of the coupling cap to maintain the timing constant.
