It makes sense to do so. Just make sure that you don't let other classes lagg behind. Most people have the feeling once they snag a BB or CV they'll level that like crazy. You'll need BB and CV for passing 2-4, but CA are really helpful also. I personally got a dropped Kirishima and then Hiyou from construction, and levelled them up to high 40's (before tackling 2-4). The quest Akagi will probably be your first fleet carrier aswell.

Of course, CA and CL have awesome positions. before all of above, I was focusing on the Sendai Class. I hadn't come across any desireable CA until after 2-4. If you managed to get your hands on a Mogami-class, having a CAV on your team (early remodel) gives an even better "jack of all trades class" being able to launch preemptive seaplane attacks and sub strikes. She also comes with a nice 15.5 Triple main cannon. I like using Tone and Chikuma when I need a little of everything, and all of sendai's are Kai Ni in my highest level group.

Lastly, make sure your DD's don't fall behind. When I ran into 3-2, where you actually want to pass it instead of grind it, it requires a full fleet of destroyers to assault the node, and that took me awhile to level them enough. Same thing happened for Winter 2015 E-1, my first even, needed a good amount of experienced destroyers that I lacked. Shimakaze and Yukikaze were my best in their low 40's at that time.

And I could continue ranting, but I think you get the point. I probably fufilled more than your question when looking back...
