This item is somewhat counter-intuitive. Its early game benefits are massive, but its designed for a slow played late game style. For teams that are going against a high poke and fast rush, this item would be a mistake. For teams going against a late game comp, getting this early will give you an early advantage.

Personally, I feel holding Philosophers until about level 10-12 will get you most of your gold back and still reap the benefit of the item efficiantly. That is the level range where group fights usually heat up anyway so you can choose to go Shurelyas or Eleisa's at that point depending on your gold gain. This is a good item, but it should be used situationally based on match comp and personal gold gain.
