I've used 3 different compositions,one for farming node A + B/C, and 2 for farming node A:

1xSS(Flagship), 3xCA, 2xCL - this is an almost night battle composition for first node farming, my CAs were about level 35, CLs ~25. I didn't have any levelled DDs for resource efficiency, but thanks to the great torpedo salvoes after the shelling phase I only needed to go into night battle in around 40% of my attempts. Every surface ship had double attack setup and single green gun that made the elite WO class' initial bombing worthless.

Iona, Takao(fog), 2xCLT and 2xBB - this I used to farm the first and node B (or C+B) relatively safely, a bit high on the resource consumption, but the node B usually gave superior drops.

1xSS, 3xCV, 2xBBV - Used this setup aswell, because I was in kind of a hurry to get my I-19, it was a very "unique" experience: the CVs "shelling attack" had a very high miss rate on the fog cruisers, though when they did it, it was an instakill, but they could kill or at least disable the enemy carrier in one hit, if they chose to attack it. When I risked going for the next nodes it was usually a steamroll victory or a barely S with one or two of the carriers getting crit by the enemy battleship, resource costs were okay though.

You don't have much time to grab an Iku, so If you are low on resources I advise using a cheap (probably night attack destroyer/cruiser or full SS) composition and farm the first node and recover morale doing 1-1 runs or if you have the resources use 2-3 fleets in rotation to farm nodes ABC.
