These are both good ideas.  You are right that it is bad that it is so
difficult to change key bindings in Org's version of remember-mode.
But I think it makes a lot of sense to have the remember buffer
in Org-mode with all its power.

Here is what I have done now:

1. Finishing a remember process runs `org-remember-before-finalize- 
hook'.
    You could use this to revert your bindings, but the following
    second option is better:

2. I have defined a *minor* mode, org-remember-mode with lighter "Rem"
    that is activated when Org-mode is active in a remember buffer.
    You can use its hook `org-remember-mode-hook' or also
    `remember-mode-hook' to install your keys into `org-remember-mode- 
map'.
    It will *not* be necessary to turn off these keys, so for this  
purpose
    you will actually not need `org-remember-before-finalize-hook',  
which may
    find other uses.

This should work (untested):

(defun toc:remap-remember-keys ()
  (define-key org-remember-mode-map [(control x) (control s)]  
'remember-finalize)
  (define-key org-remember-mode-map [(meta k)]                 
'remember-destroy))
(add-hook 'org-remember-mode-hook 'toc:remap-remember-keys 'append)
