I am completely avoiding the Ru node now (southern route; 1 light cruiser + 3 destroyers and no battleships/light carriers/carriers). It is really cheap on resources as well (Prince Eugen and Tone are the most expensive ship allowed in that route)

You do have to deal with the boss node with basically no air cover (Akizuki is useful against boss and the southern pre-boss node), but the boss is a lot easier at normal model (elite/flagship Ru is replaced by a normal Ru which can still double attack).
