If it is not about air superiority, you might lose planes due AA and or accident. Since Taihou has larger plane count (and you used all slots for planes) than Zuikaku, and losing planes are counted as percentage (Air combat, AA, or Accident) of your total planes, you'll lose more than Zuikaku. If you want cost effective CV for 3-2-1, use CVL or CLT instead.

Accidental losing plane can be tested on 1-1. The lone DD there doesn't have green cannon (AA), but sometimes i still lose 1-2 planes when using Houshou.
