I think the remake is supposed to be read more as a companion to the original and not a replacement. A lot of things were changed, but since this is an official work, I use the "Rule of Contradiction". If the previously established information isn't contradicted, it's canon. The remake is a little tricky, but in the case of the steel beam incident, Ishida may have just gone with what felt the most fluid for the chapter because it's meant as a one shot. He asked readers to compare it with the original, so these changes aren't meant to be taken as standalone.

TL;DR even though the remake is an official work, I take some of the little details as either "non-canon" or the information as "fluid" in the sense that it's something that would make sense in the story, but perhaps didn't play out the same way. Unless Ishida says otherwise, I take the way the SBI played out as non-canon to the main story.
