hi Phil!

i don't agree fully, but of course you have to judge from your final
context!

the following solution with a minimum-length = #2 looks quite acceptable to
me:

{
% \override Glissando #'gap = #5                            % NO EFECT!?
  \override Glissando #'minimum-length   = #2.0
  \override Glissando #'springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  \override Glissando #'bound-details #'left #'padding = #.6
  \override Glissando #'bound-details #'right #'padding = #.9
  \override Stem #'stroke-style = #"grace"

  \grace a8 \glissando d4
}

the slur really makes sense and cannot simply be replaced by a straight line
- think of a grace/acciaccatura/appoggiatura with more than one note!

you should also have a look at (older) editions of pieces trying to show a
glissando from a grace to a normal note head… ( and not only that) -
sometimes you think there is a staccato dot somewhere, other times you think
there is a spot on the paper and further on

with lilypond you can do it - it is up to you to define what you prefer!

hope you'll find the good solution for your score!
