Is this something that can work in a competitive environment?

Not really, no.

Shredder spam is much better done by eThagrosh and even then it might work against someone that has never seen it before. After that first game or two, most people and lists can deal with it pretty easily.

Even though the starter kit comes with four Shredders, Lylyth really wouldn't take more than one, maybe two at most. The animus is good, but Shredders are typically just held back as late-game Fury batteries and emergency transfers.

Lylyth only has a fury of 6, so you will be relying on Shepherds and Forsaken a great deal in order to deal with Fury mitigation. Unfortunately, most opponents will realize that and prioritize killing them.

You'll want a good deal more infantry in a 50-point list, and probably only two heavy warbeasts and a light or two.

It's worse than that. Lylith is only FURY 5.
