Yes. It will be a good item on Jhin. Considering his AA reload is 2.5 seconds, it practically guarentees 4th shot crit and first shot. Plus the attack speed boosts his move speed. Since 
is not longer a jhin item and 
has been changed to a later game item. Stormrazor most likely will be a 1st or 2nd item on him.
It supposedly nerfs his 4th hit damage atm unless they fixed it. Try it in the training mode.
I want to answer this from two perspectives, .. the effectiveness of the item, and the effectiveness of Jhin.
The most important drawback that I think you may be asking about is ..
If you haven't basic attacked for 3 - 0.38 (based on BONUS ATTACK SPEED) seconds, gain Storm's Edge.
This doesn't really work very well at all since Jhin's passive prevents him from gaining BONUS attack speed in any way other than leveling. At level 18, this cooldown will only get down to 1.99 seconds.
Because of this, you could say that it is not effective on Jhin because other champions can essentially gain the ability to crit on every auto attack without pausing at all.
However, Jhin does gain a lot of advantages from this item.
He scales very hard on AD, and the attack speed that this item offers. With the item alone, around level 6, he is effectively gaining about 90 bonus attack damage due to his passive.
It is not all that likely that you will be attacking constantly unless you are hard pushing, so waiting about between 3 - 2 seconds (based on level) with guaranteed crits will cause you to hit like a truck.
The other benefit from his passive will cause you to gain bonus movement speed (which does scale on attack speed, to support WHIZKID75) for every critical strike.
Every Moment Matters: Jhin's critical strikes grant him 10% (+ 0.4% per 1% bonus attack speed) bonus movement speed for 2 seconds, but his critical strikes deal 25% less damage.
Honestly, I would consider this part to be his biggest buff. That movement speed is no joke! This gives him immense pressure and safety.
As for the bug/nerf that people are claiming here. .. I'm not really all that familiar with the details, but the only thing I could think of is that the Storm's Edge scaling overrides his 4th shot scaling. If this is the case, .. there is actually a pretty simple solution. Use your 3rd shot, then use your 4th shot before Storm's Edge comes back up. ... Problem solved.
So, in my opinion, .. YES! Stormrazor is good on Jhin.
