Just in case... have you heard of iswitchb?

Forgive me if you have.

Just add

  (iswitchb-mode 1)

somewhere in your ~/.emacs and observe the changed behaviour.

(list-buffers) is mapped to `C-x C-b', so you can still use it, and `C-x b' is
now mapped to (iswitchb-buffer).  Cycle forward and back through buffers in the
echo area using C-s and C-r.  Select them with <RET>, kill them with C-k.  Add
patterns to iswtich-buffer-ignore if they needn't be listed.

It's far less disruptive and just as functional in my opinion.
