Not sure to be honest. the raw statistics are that the Japanese launched about 7500 kamikazes in total, of which about 5500 were expended. They managed to sink about 47 ships outright, and damaged about 75 others, to the extent they did not return to service. A further 368 or so were damaged, but repaired.
Only 3 of the ships lost out right were capital ships in any sense, and even then were only CVEs. The vast majority of sinkings were achieved by single engine types.
Several of the british carriers were damaged and famously returned to service in a short space of time. However they did suffer some catastrophic levels of long term damage due to these hits.
The success of the Kamikaze against formed TFs is definitely limited. I once read somewhere, a not very technical rough comparison to the destructive capabilities of a kamikaze being about equal in sheer power to a modern day conventional cruise missile. These are not sufficient to sink a battleship, but would be powerful enough to bring down a cruiser. That seems a reasonable analogy to me.
