Does WiTP represent that? Does the Japanese player feel every lost transport ship, or does this only come once the American player can fully implement the unrestricted submarine war?

IMO, it depends on the type of transport. Japan has a lot of really crappy, slow transports. You don't feel those. But large, fast transports, the kind you need to get troops to places and deal with supply shortages all over the growing empire... those you never have enough of.
