"3 CVs loaded with Reppus" didn't mean literally loading them with ONLY Reppus. As Kevadu pointed out, 2 CVs are enough if you want to go with that config. The problem is that it would not have been optimal because then you'd have ended up with two ships who contribute nothing during the actual fight. Your BBs would've had to score damn good every single time they fired.

The main reason people tried to achieve AS during Spring Event was because the Abyssal BBs and CAs are also able to do double attack during the day, so AS was needed more for protection than for improving firepower. Also, if you'd wanted to bring a Saiun along to prevent negative T-crosses, having 3 CVs was necessary.
