Are Max CDR Summoner Spells underrated?

Earlier today I wanted to try something new on my support build to see how it would go so I decided to get max CDR on my summoner spells just to see how useful it really is. It seemed to work wonderful and honestly I didn't see any downside to doing it other than getting the extra 450g on my ionian boots for distortion early on. The only reason I think I haven't seen this done is because I don't think anyone known has ever done it so it isn't "Meta".

Here's my build I used and the stats for it (tested on Braum):

summoner 6 summoner 4

item 1333 + Insight Mastery = 40% CDR on Ghost, Flash, and Teleport.

Brings Flash down to a 3 min cooldown from a 5 min cooldown

Brings Ghost down to 126 secs from 210 secs cooldown.

Buffs BOTH Ghost and Flash:

Ghost increases movement speed by 40% instead of 27% for 10 secs.

Flash gains 20% movement speed for 1 second after flashing.

The pros just seem too good. I mean ghost and flash can both be used offensively and defensively. The upgraded ghost seems to be amazing when you know when your jungle is about to help gank bottom to get close enough in time to land a good cc. The cooldown is so low on ghost alone the likely hood when using it defensively is that it will probably be back up by the time you're in trouble again.

i feel like a 3 minute flash would do wonders for support annie flash tibbers to the face.

I still think exhaust is too critical to have on the team to protect the carry from a lot of the bursty/assassin mids that exist right now. You can save yourself with ghost, or you can save the carry with exhaust.

I can dig it. u don't have to go all out. Off the top of my head 25% on exhaust, ignite, heal, 155 or 135 just boots and mastery. i use that in the top lane on no flash champs. if u need the kill lane or go super tank heal - barrior that's 450 gold to other things.
