Flash TP is still the better choice for most current meta toplaners. Not sure about 6.9 but the death timers are still long enough that acing the enemy team in a teamfight provides such a massive advantage that you simply can't afford to splitpush and tanks are beefy enough to safely towerdive a team that's defending a tower 4v5. Smite TP lets you be there for your team if they get dived but you'll often be forced to TP early as the enemy disengage comes in or be less effective in the fight itself because you're lacking flash(probably the strongest teamfight summoner spell). The single target damage reduction becomes less important in teamfights as you're probably tanky enough without it and reducing damage from 1 person still leaves 4 people DPSing you down while you're unable to flash+CC them if they flash away from your engage.
Unlike the past splitpushers are dealt with greater pressure from the grouped team and towerdives rather than actually sending people to stop them, which means you'll need to build a team around a splitpusher with extremely strong and safe waveclear. This makes it a rather poor choice for soloQ imo, I'd only try it with a premade team that is willing to pick around that strat.
