But of course, setting the control points directly is really problematic.

I guess the trouble comes when you change the music, right?

Yes. With hardcoding the control points the slur will have the same shape regardless of the musical context. With \shape you define some overrides to Lily's own decision. And there is quite some chance (but no guarantee) that it will still work if the music changes.

Right--no guarantees, but you won't face the prospect of the right end of your tweaked slur becoming detached from its notehead when the spacing changes.
