Kommentar | I don't think the form in -istic should be added without also adding the adjective form in -ist, which in my experience is more idiomatic at least in AE.
In fact, I wonder if the form in -istic should be marked chiefly BE. In AE I think it might tend to sound Denglish; I would at least be inclined to list the -istic form second, as generally less common, and to caution German speakers against automatically picking the one that appears more familiar.
Because -ist/-istic, -ic/-ical, etc. are so hard for German speakers to predict, it would be good to give as much information about usage as possible, so users don't have to just pick one by sheer 50-50 guess. I realize that's easier said than done -- it still frustrates me to find entries for der/das X and have no idea whether it's 50-50, 70-30, or 90-10 -- but if either form could be identified more with AE or BE, then it would be worth mentioning.
