I'd like to know a bit more about "no longer": what has changed?

IIUC the change is that you want to use comment-search-backward in
a different circumstance, but I don't really understand what is
that circumstance.

It looks OK, though please only use syntax-ppss if comment-use-syntax is
set, because some modes still use comment commands in contexts where the
syntax tables do not reflect the intended comment syntax.
