How about making the flag narrower?

  \once \override Flag.stencil =
  #(lambda (grob) (ly:stencil-scale (ly:flag::print grob) 0.6 0.8))

Try whiteout:

  \once \override Flag.whiteout = 3
  \once \override Flag.layer = -1

in the voice containing the a,

  \once \override Flag.layer = -2

in the other one. Maybe try different values for whiteout and different
stem lengths. But I haven’t found a satisfying solution so maybe scaling
the flag, changing horizontal spacing (force-hshift) and different stem
lengths will give a good solution.
