I wrote a text about this some time ago too and arrived at the same conclusion (16 sorties, 5 times to dead end node E, 2 times to dead end node G, 0 retreats otherwise). However, I've now done a slight alteration to my equipments (by adding some extra radars) and composition: the results are that I'm now ending in dead end node G around 20-25% of the time.

My composition for the first fleet is the following: CL - Akitsu Maru - 3x CV - FBB (2 BB is a waste of resources in E-4)

Second Fleet: DD with two radars + searchlight - 2x DD (basic double attack night set up with a radar) - CL (daytime double Attack) - 2x CA(V) (daytime double attack + sanshiki)

This set up actually never took me to any dead ends in 12 sorties (zero retreats too) when I had a lvl 75 Murakumo as the second fleet flagship. However, when I replaced her with a lvl 55 Hibiki using same equipment, I've started going to dead ends somewhat rarely (only to dead end node E). This has led me to believe there is a hidden LoS check in the submarine node, and that ship individual LoS may actually have more importance here than in 2-5. I have now done around 25-30 sorties with Hibiki as the second fleet flagship, and I believe I've gone to node E three or four times now, which is not too high.
