In some cases, some players do it. Probably because they don't have many high lvl ships and they want to save them for the final maps and they won't be doing those maps on easy. And some maps are easy to clear, meaning that you won't need 6 perfect ships to sink the boss.

I had seen lots of videos about this but couldnt find much atm.

a 20 lvl kawakaze and non-kai yukikaze final map clear. In 2015 fall event, map people who hadn't lvld their kawakaze pretty much had to sortie her because of ridiculous branching rules. I had sortied a 10-20 lvl kawakaze there too, and completed the event in hard mode, just as many others did. It was an easy event overall.

Also in 2016 spring event's E-1 map, some players used 1 lvl DDs in the escort fleet to be able to advance in case a taiha occured. (This is called being kuso)

And about resources, i think it'll be better to follow shinhwalee's guide because he had seen lots of reports and compared them to each other throughout the events, so his suggestions are more likely to be true.

(This thing i wrote in paranthesis is just a hypothesis so take it with a grain of salt. As this event has been announced to be asw-heavy, and mid scale, you may assume that 1-2 maps will require asw -capable ships, mostly DDs and CLs, so they won't cost you much. There can be 1 or 2 heavy surface maps at most, which will cost 20k each in the worst case, excluding baux ofc.)

The only thing that'll put you in lack of resources will be farming. And since you are new, you'll have lots of ships to farm. My suggestion would be to farm starting from the rarest or whoever you like the most.
