Whatever Aquila can do, a CVL can do as well (perhaps better, even Houshou has more FRP than Aquila) and is cheaper to run. Because her stats are CVL tier.

As a CV, she can't do one thing a CVL can: attack submarines. May not mean much, but puts her right out of 1-5 runs.

She's good for 3-2-A runs, but a Shouhou-class CVL would be fine as well and even cheaper than Aquila. For cheap CV-only stuff, I'd rather pay up a tiny bit extra fuel and use Unryuu-class CVs.

IMO, Aquila is simply a trophy. When Graf was released, some claimed that she, too, was a trophy. But Graf has decent stats (comparable with 1stCarDiv) and medium range, nevermind the (useless) night battle capability - her striking flaw being the low plane count. Aquila, on the other hand, is way weaker than any CV implemented - I'd say even slightly weaker than most available CVLs.

And her spamming よしよし is getting on my nerves ... I hope that she gets a buff sometime ...
