Leblanc top is good
I believe she can support top and mid, she has enough burst to kill a tanky champion and has a high escape potential

I don't think she can burst kill a tank once they get their first negatron.
Or hexdrinker.
No, but she can kite them around mercilessly and harass them.
I have gone against ryze top many times and lb wrecks him
I'd argue that there is more than Ryze top lane and that doesn't necessarily make her a good top laner as much as it makes her a potential counter to Ryze.
leblanc can't burst someone with a banshees or spirit visage. she's an assassin meant to target squishy champions. you'd have a strong early game in top lane but you would be quickly outscaled by anyone who itemized properly against you.
she also does poor damage to towers so their top laner can roam freely without worrying about your split push.
So you'd leave lane to roam and you wouldn't split push. Seems fine. Ryze does less damage to towers than anyone, and Maokai just leaves lane to teamfight really early. I can see it working.
