I've tried it some, and it's only OK at best. What really holds Nami back is, rather ironically, her waveclear capabilities. Aqua Prison is really the only ability that can be used for waveclear, but using that up means she can't protect herself from ganks as easily. And, the AoE for Aqua Prison is suboptimal for clearing minion waves, compared to other support abilities like Lulu's Glitterlance, which can damage an entire minion wave if placed correctly.

Beyond that, Nami can harass opponents in lane just fine, as she's supposed to. But her abilities make her more effective in lanes with more than two people, whether it's the AoE stun on Aqua Prison or the multi-bounce on Ebb and Flow. Lulu's abilities don't have those restrictions, and that's why Lulu could succeed in solo lanes.
