How viable is hybrid tank Ekko now?

I've been playing Ekko since he started getting nerfs (a patch after his tank Ekko nerfs), but still found success last season playing him as that. With Runic now in the mix, I find that it adds a huge power spike to all AP junglers. I've been consistently trying different builds per game, but I prefer the tankier version to the glass cannon version. I've been building him like this..

item 1410 item 3025 item 3158 item 3001 item 3742

Most games don't last long enough to get a sixth item, but I would probably put some AP in that slot if need be. If am I snowballing, I usually skip the Iceberg and go for item 3057 > item 3001 > item 3100 instead. But always round my 4th item off with item 3742 or item 3143 (viable in this patch). My build usually just depends on what we need in the game at the time, but for the most part, I really miss tank Ekko with item 1409 .

Cinderhulk is still probably better IMO if you're going the tanky route

You want to be able to drop down your W easily and zone people in fights if you're not doing the max amount of burst damage; to do that the extra health from cinderhulk helps alot more than runic
