Do native speakers still use the phrase “I am not acquainted with him myself” these days?(from “pride and prejudice “)

That sounds very proper. I would say I personally don't know him.

The phrase is very formal. We see it more often in English literature like your example from Pride and Prejudice. I agree with Wyatt that in conversational English we would say something like, "I don't know him personally".
