I don't follow their official twitter either in that I have actually hit the 'follow' button.

As far as actually reading the tweets, I rely on both Google Translate and the default translator offered via Twitter/Microsoft because I'm in the same boat. I do get a pretty good idea of what's going on though...however I do tend to wait a bit for the people who CAN read Japanese to post their translations/thoughts in Reddit or one of the Discord servers I'm part of.

As far as this upgrade making so that Kongou (and any other FBB getting the upgrade) is able to be used in a TCF goes... well, I don't see that happening unless they make changes to the rules on what can be added to a TCF (note: they *have* done this before; for awhile, no CVLs were allowed at all. Then they changed it so that they could if they had an actual ASW stat like Shinyou, Taiyou, Zuihou and Gamby).

While FBBs are useable in STF and CTFs in the Escort Fleet, people don't tend to put them there because there are no benefits to do so. The Escort Fleet only really gets to shine at night and Heavy Cruisers are better at night than FBBs. The only exception to this that I am aware of is during the last event where a couple of FBBs had damage bonuses against one or two of the bosses, and those bonuses made putting those ships in the Escort Fleet viable.

This all being said, it really does depend on what the Devs mean and what the end result will be...
