Based purely on references しらずしらず seems to be more common for 不知不識.
That said, 不知不識 itself is not common and I thus wasn't able to source any examples with confirmed readings (a shame that yourei.jp is gone).

不知不識(しらずしらず): Nikkoku, Shinsen, Saito, Oukoku, Iwakoku, GendaiRK, Koj
不知不識(ふちふしき): Daijs, Nikkoku

Nikkoku even has just these two for しらずしらず

Smk: もとは「{不知}{不識}」と書いて、返り読みをした。

  Comments:
Based on that I don't think 不知不識 should be dropped.
At the minimum it should be included as an [sK], though I don't see the harm in having it as an [rK] as it meets the threshold.

Since 不知不識/ふちふしき is a separate entry, with an xref to here, I think it can be dropped as a kanji form. It's at best a wierd gikun use of しらずしらず.
