I would suggest that if a stick shaker is genuine at rotation, you wouldn't be getting airborne, you would be tail scraping your a*** down the runway. If the take-off has been normal (ie normal acceleration, rotation and lift-off at the expected distance to run, airspeed and pitch attitude) and you get a stick-shaker, it's the stick-shaker that is not normal. In which case the Airspeed Unreliable checklist is the correct procedure to follow.

Interestingly in Airbus world, they have a memory checklist procedure for Stall Warning at Lift-Off. It says to set TOGA thrust, 15° nose up and wings level, which unsurprisingly are essentially the same initial actions as their Unreliable Speed checklist. No wasting time in a time critical situation - go straight to the Power + Attitude settings that will give you the fly away from the ground Performance that you want.
