Akizuki's AA CI is best worked when paired with another Akizuki-class DD (unfortunately, none other DD of her class is in-game yet) or Maya with her HA+25mmCD+Air Radar.

Usually I only pair those two during combined fleet operation (both of them in 2nd fleet) or when air superiority or above is not possible, most cases are during events.

The thing is, AA Cut-in is either hit-or-miss thing, as it doesn't work against aircrafts with very high count (bosses) or when you don't have enough AA to shoot them all down. It's the mechanic which CV can deal full shelling damage regardless of remaining plane count (above 0) that negated AACI usefulness.
