It might be worth it if you're playing a campaign that already starts at a higher level where you have/can create the headband already, but too many Artificer features and spells rely on that intelligence score being the primary statistic leading up to that point. If you're only taking a few levels of artificer as a multiclass to get some infusions or a subclass it's not that bad, but remember, if you dump Intelligence, RAW you cannot multiclass out of Artificer.
I'm all for unoptimized and quirky builds for the sake of roleplay and fun, but deliberately gimping yourself for the sake of a gimmick just makes you dead weight at a table and not fun to play with.
You're the only one who can hold your head up high
Shake your fist at the gates saying
"I have come home now
Fetch me the Spirit, the Son, and the Father
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
It's time now
My time now
Give me my
Give me my wings"
