I don't think it's ironic. Assuming that all science is representative of all science, if science isn't broken then science saying that science is broken means that science is broken (because it's in a logically impossible epistemic state). If science is broken then science is broken. So in any case science saying that science is broken means that science is broken. Of course all science isn't representative of all science, but that takes the sting out of the irony.
