My usual philosophy is to go without support expeditions until it feels like you really need them. For Spring E-5 Yamato with sanshikis could one-shot (well, double attack) the boss at night (just had to hope she didn't target the BB hime...that sounds familiar) and even regular BBs could do it in two attacks so I never had much trouble with boss kills there.

I used boss support for E-6 this event but none of the earlier maps. It really wasn't necessary. But for E-6 it did feel like a pretty big waste of resources. It killed a destroyer on my final run. Would I still have cleared the map without it? I don't know. But given that the boss encounter rate for E-6 was so low there were many, many wasted trips.

Still, actually managing to get to the boss and not killing it would have felt a lot worse...
