On medium you have to watch out for nodes Z9, ZZ1 and ZZ2, because all 3 have enemies that can perform night CI. On easy, you only have to watch out for the first 2 imps of node ZZ1, as they are the only one who can perform night CI. This drastically reduces your overall chances of getting taiha'ed before reaching the boss node (I say this as someone who made the switch from medium to easy for E4).

This also mean that if you can take care of those two imps before they can attack, you pratically get a free ticket to the boss node. One way to do this is to use normal support (usually kills a few imps if it procs) and to put two imp killers on the first 2 positions of your fleet (for instance, 2DD, each equiped with 2 guns and 1 skilled lookouts).

Alternatively, you can instead rely on SFFCF and the defensive bonuses of the vanguard formation, as even if those two imps get to use their night CI, your girls might be able to tank them, and even if one of your girl get taiha, it's usually not problematic to retreat her with the SFFCF on easy, as the boss node is somewhat easier than in medium, so you won't need as much overall firepower to finish the boss. You just need to make sure that you've got at least one fusou sister in good health to perform day DA/CI (it's still the best way to sink the boss), and of course enough air power to get AS on the boss node (in particular, if you're on the LD of the first boss, and you're using a CAV as a seaplane fighter mule and she gets taiha, it might be better to give up that run instead of retreating only your CAV, as you may not be able to get AS on the boss node, which will make sinking her very difficult unless you get a T-cross advantage).
