Pros did it not so long ago, and nothing has changed about him that would make him weaker.
Play it with 0-18-12 masteries (Thunderlord's), Spellthief, poke enemies, get some stuns off to enable aggro from your lane partner/peel, use ult for all ins/counter-engages.
It's a kill lane though, be ready to be useless AF if you lose the lane.
Don't pick him into

The only two reasons support Kennen was ever a thing ...
Righteous Glory was insane during those patches. Which received several nerfs few patches ago.

The Kalista+Kennen got popular after people seen that first lucky play. It looked flashy, but in reality it's pretty trash in soloq. You have to make it VERY clear to your Kalista to only ult you before or after your ult.
Paying for mana is never my thing on an energy champion. So many better options for a support.
Kennen support is pokey (constant Q spam without worry about mana) with your ult being a pretty big deterrent for people to dive you/your adc, plus the stun stack things can effectively zone people (or if they're reckless, then you get to proc stuns when is prime trading/murder potential for your adc).
The issue is there's not much sustain to be had, and kennen is relatively squishy himself compared to solo lanes (or even as the adc) where he's got dorans and minions to lifesteal off of. I find theres a lot of early lifesteal this season, so I haven't really been feeling pokey supports as being that strong currently. Plus the FQC line seems to offer a fair amount of mana regen, so a lot of alternative poke supports are able keep up the harass anyway, which negates one of the reason you might pick kennen over an alternative.
