I had the same experiences. With so many reporting low drop rates after map completion, I'm almost convinced they change at that point. Either for final form (as bosses stay that way) or after the map is completed, it was definitely off from what I experienced after finishing the boss. Completing maps I had a decent "rare" drop rate, afterwards it dropped to ridiculously low levels.

Clearing E-1 to E-5 took me 70 sorties, 14 drops were rare (according to list here)... so a solid 20%.

I spent about 50 more sorties (give or take) in E-2 to E-5 afterwards. 1 more Nagato, 2 more Makigumo. That was it from the "rare" pool. Drop rate on "rares" fell to less than a percent.

Seems a little more than "just RNG" not cooperating.

Also on my journey back through E-3, the fleet (despite the exact same equipment, just higher levels) went A -> B a good 75% of the time. Very infuriating, so much so that I did end up refreshing a few times. I never do that, but getting hit in the face with that bauxite cost and more repairs is absolute shit.
