I don't see any reason to. It's just straight dumb. With Spirit Stone -> Ancient Golem upgrades you'll take ages to clear your jungle compared to Madred's -> Wriggles. You're trading early game power and objective control for mid-late game tanking. That's not what you want as Lee Sin. Wriggles is cheaper, you make use of all it's stats and even the ward can help you in clutch situations combined with W.

Machete -> Madred's + Boots -> Vamp Scepter into Wriggles -> Giants Belt -> Tabi/Merc Threads -> Brutalizer into BC -> Phage -> Hexdrinker -> Frozen Mallet -> GA -> MoM

Aegis is no longer core on Lee Sin because he benefits more from tanky damage items thanks to his ratios (the exception being GA, still the most broken defensive item in the game). And most supports get it anyway, along with a Zeke's, indirectly buffing your stats.
