Would it be possible to unconfirm people when they get blocked (possibly as an extra option for admins on the block page)?
Not at the present. You could file a feature request at bugs.wikimedia.org. But it doesn't seem terribly useful to me (you have to simmer for four days before making trouble again?).
(I seem to remember than the 4 days thing is actually done as a you mustn't be in the most recent 1% of signups, or something, which would make resetting that part a little more effort on the part of the devs...)
It was eventually changed to just use four days from signup, when (I guess) a signup-date field was added to the user table. It makes no difference from the point of view of resetting it, which would probably need an explicit override group either way.
