I agree, I think "nonselki'u" would be better for "unjustified".

One-placer "x1 is unjustified" cannot be the opposite of two-placer
"x1 is justified by x2".

I think a suitable antonym for "justify" could be "undermine", so I
would interpret "tolselki'u" as "x1 is undermined by x2". Instead of
x2 providing support for x1, it takes it away.
