Can we do for Elise what we did for Ekko?

As in, cut her bases a bit and buff her scaling in compensation? I know Runeglaive is her most common enchant in solo queue at the moment but that's more because it's more fun than Cinderhulk than anything - in pro play full tank Elise continues to reign supreme and if you ask me, a big reason she's so dominant in competitive play is her ability to build full tank and in the process, cut out any and all risk she would otherwise have in her kit.

She should need to build damage, she's a mage/assassin character and building full tank to take advantage of her bases and Cocoon is just off. Make it so that she needs a moderate amount of AP to contribute to the game but when she builds AP she has a stronger contribution than she has right now. Elise could so easily be the premier AP fighter jungler (which is different from Nid and Ekko cos they're more assassiny) but when she's best with Cinderhulk she's basically just a female Gragas and that's not only boring as hell but as we've seen from Gragas's continued dominance, broken competitively.

Shes been touched enough. Not looking to see her fall off to oblivion again.

It´s a bad idea for the same reason as Ekko: it would make her a very binary Champ - get ahead and oneshot people, fall behind and do nothing.

You can't buff Elise's scalings, the reason that her early game is allowed to be so strong is because she has terrible late game damage and pressure. If you remove that weakness without affecting her stun or her Rappel, then she's just strong at all points of the game and that isn't healthy for a jungler like her.

She has seven abilities, so she's going to be strong early no matter what we do, especially when we have a Sheen item in the jungle because that item scales off how many abilities you can cast within two seconds of each other. So leave her late game poor as is, thank you.

Trust me. You do not want Elise getting better scaling.
