From personal experience, sparkling the whole fleet does help you reach the boss but does not necessarily help you kill the boss. Using non-boss support also increase your survivability but don't do this if you low in ammo (which I was). Sparkling the whole support fleet avoid them from not appearing and misfire failure. I didn't put any ship for AACI because I need every single one of them participating the night battle. Lastly, never lose hope. I got T-disadvantage in my final kill clear and my torpedo duo in moderate damage and got really lucky.
