Don't let the "meta" aspect of Kancolle discourage you from enjoying the game. While it's true that some recurring ships (KTKM, Ooi, ABKM...) are pretty much a requirement to complete events in hard mode, the game is more lenient in easy/medium provided your girls are high-level and well-equiped, even if they are not meta ships. You shouldn't feel "forced" to only use specific ships (though it's true that it would make completing some maps easier).

There are also a few ways to make a non-meta ship a lot more versatile (luck mod as you mentioned, but also marriage and reinforcement expansion). Even if it's just for a single Kanmusu (because all of these are costly/limited), the game still gives you some opportunities  to play with the ships you like instead of just using the same meta ships over and over.

In any case, good luck for your future endeavors. o7
