Might not be the look you are going for, but you could move the female half of the coupler beyond the shower wall, then if it ever leaks again, it will be inside the tub. Simple plumbing job, depending on what material the pipe comes through. I did one that way because the homeowner had previously had a failure, and swore to never put that joint behind the wall again. Used a standard copper male poking through the wall with an escutcheon ring, and a fairly large chrome bushing, and it really did not look all that unusual.
