Looking at the permissions that app requires, I would recommend not installing it at any cost.
Of course it needs that permissions, that's how it works. If you can't make an informed decision then don't do it but otherwise it's no different than doing anything as root or administrator on your PC. Sometimes you need to run with elevated permissions to get something done.

You could always build one from source: https://github.com/wangrunz/BixbyRemap

That isn't the same application. The application you linked does not require anywhere near the number of permissions that one does[1]

You mean what Samsung did in the first place?
It's a hacky workaround.
