The first nixie clock I built was a two-tube design, though it's full of bodges and questionable design choices and would definitely not fit into a lightbulb. It uses two B-5855s, two DM160 VFDs, two K155ID1s, and a nodemcu for NTP. I suppose the electronics could be placed in the base of the bulb, with the tubes in the bulb itself.
