Well, it isn't absolutely impossible to transfer a Magic Crest to someone outside the family, but for a normal magus family (one that doesn't have generations of genetic fiddling to make the heir more compatible with the Crest), passing a Crest even to another family member is a rather painful process, requiring lots of special care and attention to prevent rejection. For a non-family member, it would be agony
Spoiler for HF:
So, no, it's not plausible for Kiritsugu to pass his Magic Crest onto Shirou, given that he cares more about Shirou's well-being than he does about making him a magus and that to do so would likely be impossible and certainly would be painful.

I would think that a reinforced arrow alongside Innate Time Control would be pretty deadly.
Perhaps, but Shirou doesn't have Inate Time Control....
