Comment: Neither AHD nor MW has "unpractical". They both have "impractical".

I'm not sure that "impracticable" is needed.

AHD ~ Impossible to do or carry out:
"Refloating the sunken ship intact proved impracticable because of its fragility."

To the extent that "impracticable" works for 不切實際, I think "impractical" also does the job just fine.

LA
不切实际
不符合現況或實際的需要。
例 「做事不切實際」、「這種決定就好比為了喝牛奶而養一隻乳牛,不切實際」。
