If the meat falls off the bone like that, the ribs have been overcooked. The membrane prevents the smoke from getting into the meat, and it also tastes bad. Admittedly, I'm just an amateur who watches shows like BBQ Pitmasters and reads books by BBQ guys like Aaron Franklin and Myron Mixon, but I think not removing the membrane is pretty universally considered a mistake by the BBQ community. I would try removing it and taking the ribs off sooner, and see what you think!
