Depending on what you mean with "fleet vs fleet combat" not even the Akizuki, or Isuzu as AA cruiser for that matter, were designed for that.

And for what matters I think there was at least one instance where Matsu class acted as fleet escorts (Leyte Gulf, Northern Force).

And Bep has higher consumption because of balancing for her other higher stats, a kanmusu with meh stats should retain low consumption.
