Ooyodo with 2 guns + 2 WG42s will give you a second reliable ship against the boss. Success rates aren't as high as the heavier south fleets (duh), but the thing about the north route is a near-100% rate of reaching the boss in the first place. Light fleet with boss support (2DD2CVL) should be cheaper than the heavy fleets as well.

Doesn't really help it if your Sanshiki/WG42 ship gets sniped, but you should have them behind the ones without them because you don't really want them to go first and target the trash escort ships if they're still alive.
