Not in English.
What we do see is the use of 'j' in place of 'i' when that 'i' is functioning more like a consontantal 'y'. For example, eject from Latin eiectus

tho I doubt there is an example where it's the only vowel.
$ grep -P '^[b-df-hj-np-tvwxz]{5}$' /usr/share/dict/words
crwth
fldxt
fpsps
hdqrs
mphps
pgntt
phpht
smrgs
Not that /usr/share/dict/words is the ultimate arbiter but I'd say such a thing was at least so rare as to be inconsequential to the task at hand. It might be worth making a case for "w", OTOH.

Apparently it's still occasionally written "fiord" in New Zealand.
At least autocorrection accepted° this without complaining.
update
°) hm ... wrote this on my mobile
On my desktop FF is now complaining about, fiord while chrome isn't.
All say that an "English (US)" dictionary is used.
