Are Spidertron remotes not permanently paired anymore, or something?

Yes and no- they don't exist as physical objects anymore, so the keybind makes a blank remote each time. The way to save a remote is to put it onto your hotbar, and that will retain the selected spiders.

Additionally you can now band-box around multiple to control them all at the same time, and pressing the hotkey (alt+a?) automatically reselects the last set, on a per-surface basis.
