Of course trying to land with superstructure as a backstop would be risking a plane AND a ship, so nobody actually was insane enough to try doing it on Ise-class. Mission plan was to launch from catapult and after mission to return to land base or other carrier. Or as a last ditch, um, well, ditch, and hope that escorts fish out the crew.

Also, catapult launch is limited by plane weight and stall speed, so... I wouldn't be very surprised if that remodel used proto catapult too.
