In terme of survivability, sub actually minimise a lot RNG's randomness, it neutrlise PTimps quite well (their TCI hurts a lot). I honestly would take a sub even if it's a low level if you have SFCF.

This (historical) route doesn't need a lot of firepower to reach node Y and to S rank it, thanks to night battle mechanic. And since DDs/CL(T)s kicks ass at night you don't have to worry about big boats, hence saves resources. Be aware that if you don't finish node Y main fleet you are going to day battle, that's way you need to have at least CAs to finish the work. (If you leave an escort alive, it's an A rank for sure)

Also, I would put ASW LBAS and send it to node G. But if you are confident enough to go through sub node troll, save resources and don't sortie LBAS at all.

Equip you girls with AA main guns to clean Imps as fast you you can (will also helps to shutdown planes at Node M), and bring Yasen gear with you.

Good luck
