If anything Elise will end up needing to be changed up a bit in the future, likely with her damaging ability cooldowns. If she get's ahead at all, as in an early kill or two, she can burst someone down with her damage roughly every 8 seconds. While that does fall off, and it isn't nearly as bad with her as it was with Nidalee, it could end up being a problem in the future with meta shifts or a new item.

This would probably lead to her utility being increased, that way she could still function throughout a game but be a bit less snowbally overall.

She could maybe use some small buff right now, but I can see any buffs in her current state causing her to spiral out of control when used by a good player. I actually think she's in a decent place where she is, even if her winrate is a little bit lower than 50%, she's far from unplayable, and if you think that, I'd say you either picked her when you shouldn't have, or just need to get better with her.

Buffing a high skillcap champion always tends to work out weirdly. Even if you don't buff them they tend to find some exploitable build and become strong eventually, so I'd say give it a a few patces and we could very well see Elise as a top pick again even if she's unchanged herself. Lee Sin getting nerfed is already an indirect buff to her.
