I agree with Bill.
No gasses, no sparks.
When you ask "would a TC WORK in a vacuum?" you need to define "work".
Would the circuit oscillate? Yes (I assume anyway). Would we see any sparks? No.
I personally would have no interest in building or seeing seeing a
coil that did not make sparks.
So by my interpretation of the word "work" in this context, I would
have to say no.
Good question though, it was fun to think about.
