I think you can get a slightly more gentle fix by

\override Slur.details.free-head-distance = 1.5

I find this to be a better override to get more curvature in the slurs.

I've just prepared a patch that implements your recommendations, although
in a slightly different way.  I've split the section to two different
sections -- Automatically modifying ties and slurs and Manually modifying
ties and slurs.  

I have not listed the properties that can be changed, because by
documentation policy we don't list such items in the Notation Reference.
If we want to have more of a tutorial on how to adjust the properties, it
belongs in the learning manual.

You can see the proposed documentation by downloading pdf pages from the
following link:

I'd welcome feedback.

Thanks,
