Depends what you mean by "legit". The list of "labelable elements" does
not show that a fieldset can be labeled by a <label> element. Look at the
last column of the table in
https://www.w3.org/TR/html53/sec-forms.html#labelable-element.

You'll get a parsing error if you try something like this:

<label for="stuff">hello</label>
<fieldset id="stuff"></fieldset>
