exp only do something if you can actually level up before your enemy in lane, and even then, is not as awsome as people could say. Lets say you are mid ziggs against annie mid, you level up your ult 5 seconds before she does (if you both got the same exp but she doesnt have zileans passive). Now what? suddenly you are going to finish her off with your ult? You will have to wait for an opportunity to harrass her, you cant cast your ult as soon as you get it because YOLO.

With the champion experience per kill changes where champions of lower levle gain increased exp on champion kills on higher levels, has made the idea of zileans passive giving increased experience obsolete. Its just outdated and doesnt really help your team because if you have a higher  level and they kill you, they will get even more exp, on the other hand, if you are outleveling your enemy and you get a kill, you will get less xp. Riot made it so teams cant outlevel each other so easly, meaning zileans passive is rather useless. 5% global CDR would be a nice passive, but it would make it hard for mages and supports to get exactly 35% CDR. 8% Less time as dead could work but thematically its kind of weird as Zilean shouldnt have control over death. Still, if you want to, check the way XP balance works, and you will see Zileans passive doesnt work the way you would like to.
