If ABDA avoided the Battle of the Java Sea

What if ABDAFOR avoided the Battle of the Java Sea and survived?

Its cruisers might join either American forces to the south or the British Eastern Fleet, potentially adding useful strength at Coral Sea or Midway.

ABDA's survival becomes a redeployment problem rather than a way to reverse the campaign by itself. Its cruisers might reinforce American forces moving north through Southeast Asia. They could instead join the British Indian Ocean force. Either route creates a possible extra Allied presence at Coral Sea or Midway.
