This how I view it as well. Irelia should only be last-hitting in lane, so the loss in overall sustain from the nerf to Hiten Style should not be a big deal. Even if you last-hit every wave perfectly, at even at level 5 of W, this is only a loss of 169 health per minute. A 435g Regrowth Pendant completely makes up for this, so the worst case here seems to be that Irelia players add a Philo stone to their build more often than they normally would.

This does make her more vulnerable to strong pushers, since spamming AA heals less and ult is available less often, but Irelia can last-hit underneath her tower very easily, and this opens up her lane opponent to ganks from the jungler. So overall it should be fine.

This won't have any impact on champion fights, which take place under Hiten's active, or in extreme lategame, where on-hit healing is pretty lame once you have 2500+ max health.
