Like or not, there will be more Kai Nis that require medals. New players cannot catch up, and I think it's intentional; getting all the blueprint Kai Nis would be limited to the veterans who can clear all the event maps and farm 1-5, 2-5 and 5-5... along with the troll-grade rare DDs like Hatsukaze, these are one of a few ways that veterans can show off to the new players.

Tone-class blueprint Kai Nis are at least useful, all the more so in the recently added 2-5... but there will be others like Ryuho would be more of a showcase than a necessity, so you won't be losing that much in terms of your actual fleet strength just because you don't have enough medals.
