  Comments:
In this case, I don't think a noun gloss is helpful. The other JEs only have 〜する glosses.
I don't think the 精通 x-ref is needed either. Nowadays, we tend not to add synonym x-refs for words like this.

I suggest you resist letting the verb usage overwhelm the noun aspect. I don't think both xrefs are needed.

  Comments:
Couldn't figure out how to make "complete knowledge" a verb.

"to know something down to the finest detail" is a direct translation of both the daijisen and daijiten entries, and I think it does a good job making it clear what the nuance of this is vs. similar terms.  "having full knowledge" aligns with the 知り尽くすこと gloss.

n-grams (and definitions) seem to make it clear this is primarily a transitive suru verb.

sankoku, daijisen, and daijiten all give 精通 in the definition or as synonyms. daijsen and sankoku gives 知り尽くすこと. 精通 is vastly (50x) more common than this term, and 知り尽くす is somewhat more common while giving a morphological example of "to X exhaustively".  I think there is some value in linking 悉 and 尽くす.
