It was an OK strategy and is sort of acceptable now. You lose that all-in high DPS where having a maxed Q and E could provide, but since you have the extra AD from W's passive your laning was better as you had stronger poke and could make use of W + 2 Qs without putting yourself at much risk.

I always max Q > E or E > Q and leave W as a one-point wonder, but the lowered cooldown to bolster Zed's slipperiness as well as the bonus AD for strong poke is a good idea to note down.
