Yeah, but Ibuki wasn't designed to be a CV either. They were just desperate to build carriers, so they just hacked it, kind of like the Independence-class. The IJN did studies on converting ALL their major warship classes into carriers. If that's the justification for Suzuya, then it makes just as much sense to say that Atago or Takao were planned to be CVLs.
