Not if your support knows how to cv correctly
Mr. Wallet:
Most people don't notice that AP shaco's ulti popping scales with AP and is pretty hard to avoid even when you know from the word go that it's fake. So that gives AP builds a little more team damage.
Just got linked vid and I love it linky click oke

I'm usually voice chatting and will let the person know... lol
I don't run off like that with randoms cause I know they'll do something dumb and I'll have to secure every kill possible.

Exactly why I like playing a tank and charging in first. Knowing that the enemy team will be tempted to throw every single ability they can on me so the rest of my team doesn't need to take them.
Of course, I've faced smart teams that backed off or waited for the rest of my team.

Even with those 3 stack items...
Sure kills give 2 stacks. But assists give 1, which is better than the enemy escaping and having them get 0.

CV doesn't reveal invisible units (his boxes). If Shaco is already gone then you may be giving them false hope.

The question is, which has a greater value,
(odds of kill without secure) * (value of 1 kill and 1 soul stack)
versus
(odds of kil with secure) * (value of 1 kill and 2 soul stacks)
These numbers are known as expected values.
If you're even considering feeding a kill to an ally, the difference in the two probabilities is extremely low. "Extremely low" is worth worrying about when the right side of the multiplication is identical (no soul items), and the idea that it's not worth worrying about is what causes killsteal rage. But in the case of a soulstealer, a very reliable kill is probably worth the risk to get another stack on the team.
