I think "timid" is too strong. The "Tokyo Express" runs through the Solomons were a bold concept. Pearl Harbor was a bold concept. It may be fair to say that at key moments, certain commanders lacked the courage of their convictions. But such criticism could be leveled at commanders in nearly every theater of war from the dawn of time.

The death of Yamato makes an interesting counterpoint to the "timidity" argument.
