I don't know if this is a downside or something, but one thing that I liked about Akizuki is she can do AA cut-in without air radar at the cost of halving its strength. If I really wanted to go that way (and I did that a lot), I could put another item in her third slot like Searchlight or Star Shell, freeing one slot at other ship for one more torpedo or other things.

Of course that's not the best setup. 2x 10cm HA+FD with Air Radar is the strongest, after all.

And even though Akizuki only has Mutsuki Kai-tier night battle attack power, it's still enough, at least against Ru-elites or targets with similar armor value, assuming armor random numbers favors Akizuki and she isn't moderately damaged. I used Akizuki often (back then) when doing Bm7.
