Absolutely. Take your trip and enjoy it. There could be some minor inconveniences and the need to flex it traveling on a strike day, but mostly, you will have the trip you expected.

Absolutely!
Flexibility is the key.
Both wonderful to explore and experience.
September in London is the popular Open House
https://openhouselondon.open-city.org.uk/.
Great way to see interiors of buildings usually closed to the general public. Secondly, in September
https://thamesfestivaltrust.org/whats-on/ occurs.
Rent a car outside Dublin to explore Ireland. Don’t miss Glendalough, Newgrange, Rock of Cashel, Slea Head and Dingle.

Of course go. Why would you cancel an entire trip because you MIGHT have to reschedule one day? (Notice the emphasis on "might.")
Ireland is not having strike issues.

Go, and have a good time. We’re headed to Scotland about the same time and we vacillated whether to fly or take the train up to Edinburgh from London. Not knowing when all the rail strikes would occur, we opted to fly. That flight has been changed, but canceling has never been an option.
