 Arrow keys not working in virtual terminal after key binding

Don't quote your lambdas, please!

As for your problem: (kbd "M-[") is the same as ESC [ which is
a sequence of bytes often used by the escape sequences of arrow
keys, so your binding will indeed conflict, tho it will depend on the
specific terminal emulator used.
