Flat armor penetration is actually equally good against both armored and non-armored targets. Against non-armored targets (squishies) it helps you deal almost true damage to them. Against armored targets (tanky) you can combine it with bigger armor penetration/armor shred items like and  to get past their armor with more ease. Plus, enemies will need to stack even more armor early to get arount your flat armor penetration, reducing the gold value they get from armor.

Every point of flat armor penetration means you deal more damage against every champion possible, without exceptions. AD is certainly good to allow you to last hit better early, but on a damage-centric champion like Wukong, armor penetration is just that good. I still use 2 AD quints to not be completely helpless when last hitting early, though.
