I think the fleet lock made this event more enjoyable for me as it gave a legitimate reason to use ships I like, but which aren't normally part of the main fleet, such as my starter Samidare, my first CA Furutaka, etc. Even lvl 25 Suzukaze performed brilliantly in E-3 escort fleet, despite not having full modernization at the beginning and being 25-30 levels lower than everyone else. HQ lvl 77-78.

In general I feel that fleet lock may be an interesting mechanic, provided that it is used for easier maps and the later maps do not require very specific fleet composition, or, even worse, specific ships for branching rules. Final map(s) probably should not use it, though, as being able to use one's best ships makes them more like a final and decisive battle.
