I'm trying to remove an apex form object from my visualforce page. All it does is wrap a commandButton like so:

<apex:form > <apex:commandButton value="customAction" action="{!customAction}"/> </apex:form>

Is there an alternate way to have a button that fires a controller action?

    No...read both questions. It's about loops.

If your question is how to use the <apex:commandButton> tag in a loop without including multiple <apex:form> tags, simply move the <apex:form> tag outside the loop.

Not So Good

<apex:repeat ...>
    <apex:form><apex:commandButton ... /></apex:form>
</apex:repeat>

A-Okay

<apex:form>
    <apex:repeat ...>
        <apex:commandButton ... />
    </apex:repeat>
</apex:form>

As per Salesforce standard documentation,

An <apex:commandButton>  component must always be a child of an <apex:form>component.

Other option to call server side action is using apex:actionFunction on button click. But action function also requires apex form.

So you cannot remove apex form from the page if you want to do server side action.
