Also with many many 4 stars to roster and at the mercy of the RNG a person could pull 1 cover of a dozen or more characters leading to slot issues. So why does conventional wisdom say use CP just for stores?

Many times I have spent CP on covers (for both 3 and 4*). I'm actually at a point right now where I have second GSBW at 5/6/2. If I don't get that 3rd purple cover in (now) 12 days, I'll buy it with CP so I can champ her, not let the extra red go to waste, and sell my first (max-champed) GSBW.
It really all just depends on your goals and intentions. I've tried the Hoard-CP route, it's not for me. I spend CP pretty much as soon as I get 20. I know the whole point of hoarding to aim for the latest 5*, better odds, etc. etc. I don't care. I just enjoy opening tokens, and figure whatever I get builds my base of champs and that has so far always helped me getting into the next tier.
At one point, I was aiming for all 4* champed. Got as close as 93% when I had 51/55. Over the months I was gaining on their release rate, but eventually got burned-out on MPQ before I succeeded. During that period though, I never had a problem spending 120CP to buy a 13th cover if I had one in queue (and once spent 240 to finish a character), because my goal was to champ all 4*.
So do whatever makes you happy. It's just a game. HAVE FUN!
