Well, since you're aiming for medium clear with hard modo mixed in where possible, my simple answer is... No, you can't...

First, the event. There's a rumor going on that it'll be a large scale operations (meaning at least 5-7 maps), like last year. And with even more gimmick we saw from the previous events (2 gauges in one map, unlockable starting points, etc), i bet this year's going to be even harder, just because the scale of it alone.

That brings me to your resources. You said that currently you only had like 30k-ish on all resources. Plainly that isn't enough, especially for large scale operations, and the difficulty you're aiming for. Even more so with your many good-leveled heavy ships (CVs and BBs), especially if you plan to use your Musashi for the event. I would say around 100k (or more if you want to farm) is your safest bet before attempting the event. Also, since you didn't state your current bucket counts here, i'd say you need 800 or more buckets, even more if you plan to farm.

Although, that being said, your fleet also doesn't look very good to me for medium-hard difficulty, since you don't have a lot of ships to spare for the shiplock mechanism, but also most of them are underleveled. I would say you're lacking on DD, CA and CLs. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 8-11 level 70 or more DDs, with varying uses and needs (OASW, AACI, Daihatsu carriers, night battle cut-in type, or old school high firepower type). For CAs, you really need all four Myoukou-classes and Choukai, they have better firepower than the Aoba and Furutaka-classes. You don't really have to care about their luck, unless you want to give them night-battle torp cut-in, which frankly is very very situational, and not really worth it. For CLs, again you lack high firepower CLs. Jintsuu K2 and Sakawa Kai is a good start for that.

For leveling, 3-2A for CAs, and 4-3 (not 4-2) is the good choice for CL/DDs. With 4-3, you'll get around 1.8k exp flagship per 2 battle A-rank, and 2.2k exp flagship for both S-rank, which is pretty fast to get them to level 70 or more.

As a closer, since you're busy with your RL (which means you'll not have many time to level ships and stockpile resources), i'd say stick to easy clear, with medium for early maps wherever you feel you had the resources to spare.

Good hunting, fellow admirals!
