I doubt it. I don't think you'll change the rotating mass by much to make any difference. A fan clutch would be better, but ultimately you're not going to see any real mileage improvement for the effort/expense it's going to take.

Me too, How much will it cost X what's it going to conserve for you?
Now if you did away with your mechanical belt driven W/Pump with a Jabsco Electric and you . . . Nah you just have to pay like the rest of us and bear it.

You could always change to another Ford fan blade...Ford made fans with 4, 5, and 7 blades that will bolt right on.
A word of caution: The blades of aftermarket plastic flex fans can break off..hazardous to your radiator, or whatever one of those broken blades hits.

Or, whoever...my dad still sports a chin to ear scar from a flexfan fan blade as it went passed him and bounced off the wall. I am still uneasy standing in line with a fan...and don't trust flexyfans much.
