Hiding a parallel resistor is something I have done several times and , as you say, is quite inconspicuous. Hiding and tying in a series resistor is a bit more difficult. Those large dog bones are low in resistance and have to dissipate a bit of heat. Putting in a modern replacement would certainly be the easiest. I'm thinking that will be the route I will follow.
