Not really. True that more older admirals can use other CVs to substitue for Akagi but the same can't be said for new player. CVs aren't easy to come by early on unless you are lucky (and in this game, luck is not on your side). Therefore, a giveaway CV like Akagi can become the backbone of your fleet early on. Yes, the Aircraft proficiency does make CVL stronger as plane slot became less significant but that doesn't change that giveaway CV like Akagi will save your ass early on when you start to venture into map that requires airpower (1-3 or 1-4 onward).
