Personally, I consider marker appearance as a minor issue. The real pain 
is that, besides thinking on content, it is necessary to concentrate 
which type of plain text markup must be used at every moment. Switching 
between chat with markdown and bug tracker with a flavor of wiki markup, 
it requires additional efforts to avoid incorrect formatting. I do not 
mind to have backticks for code snippets in org but unfortunately the 
choice was done many years ago, so such change is unrealistic.

Remapping "`" is rather intrusive. Would not be better to define a 
command and key binding that fix markers on the current line or in the 
current paragraph?

A strange idea. If logic were perfectly decoupled from formatting it 
would be possible to have org actions with various formats (markdown, 
reStructured text, etc.) with some extensions to markup and limitations 
in respect to org functionality. I know that is unfeasible.
