I have only sparkled for E-5 (甲) and it has been a game changer for me. I don't use tools like KCV/KC3 so I dunno what I sparkle them to but I go through 1-1 2 or 3 times (depending on the ship).

For a little anecdotal evidence: I went through E-5 10 times (not sparkled) and I only made it it the boss 3 times (usually with at least medium damage or someone went home with a destroyer). During those 3 times I was only able bring her health down a little over 1/7th. I needed to do something to turn the tables. So, I sparkled all 12 ships and the ships for the boss support. I did 3 sorties like this and got to the boss everytime with only a couple going to medium damage (no one went home) and was able to get her down to 3/7ths of a bar. I suspect I'll get her down to final kill tonight after work :D
