Yes, I think that Fluder will ultimately not object to becoming undead as long as it allows him to continue investigating the abyss of magic. Nor will Ainz have any particular objection when the time comes, I think.

However, the Book of the Dead is necessary for the transformation from a lesser undead caster to an Elder Lich. There is no clear indication that it can be used for the transformation from living to undead, though we do know that this is possible through rituals that exist in the New World.

I think that Fluder should have a century or so left before it becomes a pressing issue. He was an old and accomplished magic caster two centuries ago when he cast the spell to slow his aging, he is currently the only person in the world who knows that it didn't stop his aging completely. So probably the best thing is to research a way to accomplish it that does not unduly injure the reputation of Nazarick (as the Spiral of Death ritual would).
