I believe we usually don't apply the [rK] tag in rare / archaic entries.
See entry 2856528 for example.

憂戚 is in Koj and Daijisen; 憂慼 seems only to be in Jitenon. 慼 is a very rare kanji - it isn't in JIS 208 but is in JIS 212/213. I'd keep the entry with the [rare] tag. The xref seems unnecessary.

After all that, I forgot to add the kanji.  

I marked 憂慼 [rK], but on the other hand I'm not sure that 憂戚, using 戚/せき to mean "grief", is particularly common in modern Japanese either.

One note: I didn't pull "憂愁" out of a hat as a synonym/cross-reference for "grief" (as there are many "grief" synonyms to choose from). dictionary.goo.ne.jp gives a definition of ゆうせき of
うれい悲しむこと。
It gives the exact same definition for 憂愁, the two terms share the same initial kanji, and looking at the N-gram corpus it certainly seemed common enough to be a reasonably safe suggestion.
