On the back of the heel is generally a bad idea, the guitar will hang awkwardly on the strap and may not fit into the case as easily.
If you don't want to do that, the shoelace is still the best way - but you can make it easier. This sounds odd, but... *first*, tie the lace into a loop, as large as you can make, and pull the knot as tight as possible. Then fit the loop to the strap by putting it through the hole and passing the rest of it through itself. (If you can arrange it so the knot is near the strap the next bit works best.)
Then fit the whole thing to the guitar by pushing the loop under the strings, then pulling the whole strap through the loop befire attaching it to the button at the other end. This makes it much easier to get on and off than tying and untying a knot.
Easier done than described .

On a solid wood guitar there's a good chance of splitting the side even with a block on the inside. There is a reason you never see a button there on any good acoustic guitar.

I put a strap button on the heel of my Larrivee, no worries. I put some tape on the drill so I didn't go in too far and I checked on that internet and using my eyeballs that there were no metal components in the way inside. I probably made a small guide hole first.
Just stop and think before you make the hole! You only get one chance.
