Yes, it walks both sides of the street. Given the n-grams, such as they are, I'd leave it. We could consider a "occ. v5u-s" note?

no dictionary mentions anything about this being v5u-s, but wikipedia lists it alongside 問う and 請う, both of which we have as v5u-s

  Comments:
* Split into two senses
* Add more senses to usual “be loath to” – this is an old-fashioned, fancy word, hence more literary glosses first
* Clarify other glosses: specifically about shunning an activity (environment etc.), not so much disliking generally.
