Your measurements are accurate. :)

The padding between fingerings and accidentals is the sum of Fingering
#'padding (0.5) and AccidentalPlacement #'left-padding (0.2).

This should produce the same effect as your tweak:

\relative c' {
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  \override Staff.AccidentalPlacement #'left-padding = #0
  <f-2 e'-3>4 <fis-2 eis'-3>
}
