For my money, superheroes are mythology. If you decide to make a change to a character, you'd want to leave the essence of the character the same. In the case of Spider-Man, part of his essence is that he shoots webs. Whether the web shooters are organic or man-made does not really affect the essence of what Spider-Man the character or the myth is.
If the sexuality of a character is central to what makes them unique or special, then I might question altering it...for example if Lois Lane became a lesbian, then you'd be severely changing the Superman mythos. To my knowledge, Batwoman has always been a B-list/backburner type character who is fairly "tabula rasa." No problems with lesbian Batwoman here.
