Ashe functions well without any CDR tbh. The Essence Reaver build with 30% (or 40% with runes) only became popular in the first half of season 6, because that was a time when ADC's in general were on the weaker side aand the only way to be usefull was to offer utility. In Ashes case it was all about her perma slow and her ult engage, that's why you opted for maximum cooldown reduction.

But those times are gone, neither engage tanks nor Assassins are that oppressive anymore and we have a wide varity of ADC's being viable, with crit Champs on the stronger side. Means ADC's are actually able to risk auto attacking the enemies without being engaged on instantly.

Ashe is not an AD Caster. In fact she is quite Auto reliant, with some additional utility on her spells. The hard focus on the latter isn't needed anymore and if you focus on her AA's instead you will notice her huge potential. She has two steroids for her AA's and an itemvuild that supports this gives her immense power.

Lethal Tempo for early AS, Infinity Edge first (her crits aren't luck based, that's why it works), followed by two Crit AS items make her a real monster damage wise. In trade of a higher Ult Cooldown, but that's bearable. And the W does fall off anyway, as long as it doesn't interact with her passive I see no reason to spam it, especially if you are able to auto instead.
