I've been having a lot of success with her top going a 2nd dorans before that crit-gold item. I haven't played in every champion matchup top but what I've found so far is:

Those with skillshots - Dodge with Q

Those with dash - Stand next to a wall, Q, Stun, scare them into blowing flash

Those with speedups - Don't leave tower too far, otherwise do ^.

Those with multiple dashes - 2nd dorans mandatory, and do all of the above ^

That single crit-gold item scales Vayne so fast into late game that it is very possible to go full before you ADC (since top laners seem to end laning phase way later than everyone else - less time spent teamfighting/skirmishing and more time farming/harrassing/killing).

It's a very high risk game though, getting caught in someone's full combo usually brings down your hp from 100 to at most 40%. Usually they cant 100-0 you so its not that big a deal. Just go B and come back.

Since getting a hang of her, every other champion besides Vayne just feels cumbersome.

As someone who played top lane the most out of around 1500 games since S2, 300ish games of Wukong, 100ish of Kennen, 100ish of Ryze, 100ish of Nasus, etc, imo Vayne has by far some of the most well-designed kit to handle herself against enemies that I've seen top with her.
