You could bind those familiar keystrokes to the new command, if you like.

AFAICT, the new exporter preserves most of the interface of the old
exporter, but smooths over some of the rough edges. It shouldn't
represent a barrier to your contribution. In fact, it might be useful
to write a template for both exporters, then document how they differ as
a guide to using the new exporter.
I took a brief look at the ACM web site and saw that there is more than
one LaTeX template. Which one are you interested in for Org-mode?
Do you have a repository for the project?
All the best,
Tom
