If you have a need for lightweight cryptography today, why wait for the NIST competition? Ascon is already the primary recommendation in the lightweight category from the CAESAR competition, and now also a finalist in the NIST competition.

Considering “don't roll your own crypto” is still a golden rule, it seems better to leave the issue alone if you at all can until everyone catches up.
