As you probably know, having more than two CVs/CVLs will send you to the C node, you can return to the original route (node F) from E, but anyways, I think that running so many carriers is just a waste of bauxite. You'll probably have to try yourself to see. Already did, I consume ~300 bauxite every run, while the fuel/ammo consumtion is around 700~800 (including support fleet). So wasting bauxite shouldn't be a problem (let alone the fact that I stocked 43K before the event, haven't spend even half of it yet).

Getting to the C node poses some threat to the fleet's survivability, but I think this is not as much of a concern as not being able to deal serious damage at opening stage. That fleet is capable of sinking 2 DDs in boss node (before supports and CLTs do their stuff), it even sunk all three (the last being the Wo-Kai) in rare cases.
