Is mould in a shower unavoidable, or is there something that I can do in
construction or maintenance to guarantee there will never be any mould
growth on the silicone sealer?

Firstly, choose a good sealant incorporating mould inhibitor.

The only way to avoid mould growth, it to ensure that the sealant
does not stay wet. Wiping down after use, coupled with adequate
ventilation of the area, are both essential.

There are also mould inhibitor sprays which are pretty good as an
additional preventative measure.

To recap, if you repeatedly allow moisture to remain in contact
with the sealant for significant time, then mould is practically
inevitable.
