Just consider this. Full sub fleet going to Node I once for Saiun delivery,  Node I again for boss debuff part 1, Node J for debuff part 2. Minimum 5 S rank runs to knock boss hp from 4700 to 700 and initial final boss form. Node J twice again for new debuff. Then last dance.

I'd say if you're good and lucky to get past many nodes during the boss hp phase without support expedition then you might be able to do it. But throw in a few bad runs and the more likely doubt that you'd be chipping away like chunks at the boss like me then you might not make it. (Although I only have 25 90+ and 50 80+ ships)  Don't recall what I started E3 with but if i'd estimate it'd be around 25-30k atm, you'll be losing a lot of LBAS ranks and planes. I just did the final debuff and preparing for last dance now.
