Here are things to consider:

Carriers are powerful, indeed, but they are only as powerful as the planes you're equipping them with. If the enemy has good AA, or packing air superiority planes (green ones), which are better than yours, your carriers' bombing run will suffer.

Carriers can only launch planes during the day. At night, they serve a little more than meatshield/decoy. And a very expensive one, too, in terms of repair. Also, once they hit moderate damage, they cannot launch planes.

By the way, bauxites, which are used to resupply planes, are the most difficult resource to farm.

Now, I'm not saying that CVs/CVLs are bad, but you just have to know when to use them, and when not to.
