Combine all that with the fact that the NBA today is more efficient than ever before
Efficient as in points per shot, sure, but the rise of 3s makes it more likely to have nights with low field goal %.

Exactly; at that rate you would need to play <640 games to tie Fisher's record. You could actually have an even higher overall percentage--like if you shoot 1/4, 1/4, 3/6 you would have the same number of <30% games but be shooting 35.7% overall, for example.
Plus the fact that players are playing longer, any "total games" based record is easier to hit. The fact that no current players are close to on pace means this isn't a guarantee, but I doubt it's unbreakable.
