I was giving this some thought but unfortunately the idea is highly situational and I have yet to experiment but here goes.
I play mostly on epic pace and just started deity games.
First off, what is the production>gold exchange if an AI beats you to a wonder? 1 for 1?
My idea would work best when you have quite a few city states around your starting location (which you discover first) and finding a gold ruin (preferably 2). I usually start out Scout-Mon-Shrine. Depending on production in your cap, shrine should finish around 28ish.
With 360+ gold in the bank, instead of building a worker, would it make sense to start a wonder that tends to go very early? Like the Temple of Artemis. (I could be wrong but I recall seeing this go as early as turn 35) Not that you stand a chance getting it, but if the gold conversion gives you enough to purchase a worker in 10 turns instead of the 15 or more turns to build one ... would it be worth it to get your first settler out a few more turns earlier?
Dunno, just thought I'd throw this out there.
