I seem to remember that nose wheel shimmy was a concern in the Vampire FB9 we used in our advanced training.

The Jet Provost 1 take off technique was to raise the nose wheel at 60kts and the aircraft would unstick at 75 to 80 kts. Care had to be taken to avoid striking the rear fuselage on the round.
