Well, she's one of those specialist kanmusu. To really excel she needs strategy build around her. She's not as good as Akizuki-class or Maya when it comes to AACI, but she's close enough, and her ASW after reaching lv80-90 or so is enough to disable most common subs with one shot, even without ASW equip. What that means, is that she's basically ultimate escort ship. Outfit her with AACI setup, put her in flagship position and fill rest of fleet with BBs and CVs. She can do decent AACI, so your chances of surviving opening airstrike without getting taiha are good. She can disable up to two subs - well, now three, one before opening torpedo strike - thus reducing chances of some of your ships getting taiha. She can do decent damage in yasen, as a bonus, and is sturdier than DDs and can take some licking. Used like that she carried my fleet through many events, escorting hard-hitters to do their job on boss node. She can do alright on maps like 5-2 too. Just don't use her like regular CL. It's not her forte.
