This is hard do decide for me. Others might have more experience in
engraving decisions/practice.

My suggestion would be to change the slur only a little bit:
\version "2.16.0"
{
   \clef bass
   \shape Slur #'((0 . 0) (0 . 1) (0 . 1) (0 . 0))
   fis8( d'!8 b4)
}

But if you want to avoid the collision completely, you can change the
slur parameters further (or find your own values):
\version "2.16.0"
{
   \clef bass
   \shape Slur #'((0 . 0) (0 . 2.5) (-1 . 1) (0 . 0))
   fis8( d'!8 b4)
}

As another alternative, you could shift the accidental (but I do not
know if that meets music notation conventions):
\version "2.16.0"
{
   \clef bass
   fis8(
   \once \override Accidental #'extra-offset = #'(-2 . 0)
   d'!8 b4)
}


Btw, in a newer version you can write:
fis8-\shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 1) (0 . 1) (0 . 0)) (
