oh you'll be surprised. i always have Kaga equipped with Reppu Kai and Type 62 Zero Fighter-Bomber no matter what i'm doing. ever since artillery spotting gets implemented aerial superiority is pretty much a must, unless the opponent is fielding 4 BBs which, chances are, will one shot your carriers to orange or below even without the need for artillery spotting, removing them from the fight.

some battles i've fought before even had me losing 120 over bauxite because Taiho and Kaga cannot secure aerial superiority with just 1 Reppu 1 Reppu Kai and 1 Fighter-Bomber, although that's quickly remedied through the 40 min expedition

the only time you don't need to bring tons of AA is when you're fighting an obvious 1-5 fleet (1 BBV, 1 CVL, 2 DD/CL) because they'll be carrying nothing but blues and Zuiuns.
