Never seen anyone using lubed patch in a revolver - will necessitate a well undersize ball to accommodate the thickness of the patch, and the patch is unlikely to remain in place during transition from chamber to barrel - really fiddly to load as well I would expect.

All sorts of over-ball lubes seem to work with BP fouling, and much cheaper than wads. Can't comment on lube for BP substitutes though - can't stand the stuff.
