just thinking about some scenarios,
Ship locking isn't used for regular maps, so you can just use Sara or Akagi if you need a regular night CV
If you need a night CVL, Zuihou Kai Ni B already has Long range so the benefit from skilled night deckhands is a minor firepower buff, and in any case the Long range on other ships is:
1. only helpful during day battles
2. can be acquired from 634 Suisei or Skilled KMX Stuka anyway

theoretically with Zuihou and 2 skilled night deckhands you could run 3 Long range CV(L)s with night attack capability, but this requires having the planes to do that (up to 4 Night Fighters, 1 TBM-3D, 1 Iwai fighter bomber, 1 Enkou Suisei, Swordfish, Night Type 97)
Main fleet doesn't participate in night battle, so night CV(L)s aren't a help there
so they would be useful in a single fleet event map with night battle nodes that allows you to bring carriers, where bringing Sara or Akagi isn't the best option, either from damage bonuses (Akagi/Sara not getting a damage bonus on this theoretical map or getting a better one on another, different ship lock map) or from routing (CVs forcing a longer/harder route so you need to take CVLs)
