Definitely. I can see early game going like this for support.

Buy Faerie charm+wards as per usual. Rush a Sightstone, Philosopher's, boots, kage's, and crystalline flask. Only get miracle if you use heal/CV but I still think exhaust will be the better spell.

Mid game you transition to buying a ruby sightstone, Shurelia's, Boots 2, and work on Locket of the Iron solari. Late game you can have a fifth item Kage's Last breath and no sixth item in favor of wards in solo queue. If your team is pitching in a decent amount of wards to supplement your 3 that are always up....you might be able to get a sixth item which is probably Mikael's Crucible. Playstyle changes for supports because not only do you have to manage wards, your spells, and your champ skills. Many if not all major support items have actives, and those actives can change the game. Shurelia's, Mikael's, Kage's, and Locket all can do this now. Aegis and it's upgrade were dropped from my consideration as a support because of price hikes and the availability of other good support items, as well as the nerfing of zeke's herald to not give attack speed.
