Yeah I can definitely see them moving certain events into different locations to streamline it all. Maybe having the journey between a few places just be a cutscene or something which would be a shame, the original is so well paced. Like you said Kalm is a nice respite after the madness of Midgar.I definitely think you're right about Kalm. I suspect they are going to move everything that happens there (which is really just Cloud telling his mad Sephiroth story while Tifa doesn't call him on his bollocks) to Midgar. Maybe it will happen in Tifa's bar between Reactor missions and Aerith ends up in Avalanche or something.
I like Kalm though, it's relaxing after all the Shinra HQ and escaping madness. It's like taking a breath before you take on the world again while moving the story forward at the same time. There's not really much there though until Junon, except the Midgar Zolom and the brief with the Turks.
