I don't think so: the commands work(ed) in "most" cases.

I suspect most users of icomplete who didn't follow the emacs-devel list
just didn't notice the change because they never/rarely use C-s and C-r in
the minibuffer.

I don't know if it was a poor choice, given that IDO tends to move away
from the idea that the minibuffer is just a normal buffer with normal
editing commands.

I think it's a good idea to try and use something else than C-s C-r,
since admittedly they collide with existing usage. But the problem is
indeed to find other bindings.
We could use arrows with modifiers: by default, M-left and C-left do the
same thing, so we could use either C-left/C-right or M-left/M-right.
Another option that stays closer to IDO (and to home row) is M-s and M-r
(M-r's move-to-window-line-top-bottom is fairly useless in the
minibuffer, but M-s is normally a prefix key for search commands, so
it's not ideal, tho it's less severe than overriding C-s).
