HQ doesnt really become an issue until around 80, but that problem is mitigated if you develop a lot of top tier equipment.

I ran AL/MI around HQ80 with my main ships 30-60 but had pretty decent equipment to meet AS and LoS checks.

It's mainly when your ships are fully modernized with the best equipment and you are battling the hardest enemy sets that you will want your ship levels as high as possible to make the RNG more bearable.

That said, I still avoid farming of boss nodes if i can help it.
