The question I am juggling with is whether it is worthwhile running amber filters or sacrificial lens to reduce that lost, especially since I have a Photonis XX1441 tube - not exactly a Gen 3 high performance tube...

Using 2.5mm optical grade polycarbonate I don't experience any light transmissibility issues. You're good to go, just make sure to use optical grade polycarbonate.
Sacrificial windows work also, only difference I find is that they are optically coated from the exterior, however this has had zero impact viewing through my Binos.
