Writing just D instead of D/D does not guarantee BIAB will play a D in the bass there.

I suppose what I find uncomfortable is that I see slash chords, at least in part, as an indication of a desired inversion rather than a specific direction to the bass player, though the bass player will normally follow that line anyway, so perhaps I'm being over picky.
