On the other hand, all those vibraphones and wood-blocks - are they really necessary? Would Bach, Beethoven or Brahms have approved?

With all of the unusual percussion (for the time) in Beethoven's 9th symphony, yeah, I think Beethoven would have approved. I mean, bass drum, cymbals, and triangle? With timpani, too? Shocking!
That was actually typical 'Turkish' percussion.  I believe Haydn used the same layout in his Symphony No. 100.
