I tend to agree. I still do not understand why you feel the need to use it. It has two fairly limited uses: 1. overwrite the dependency of one of your dependencies, e.g. to use a fork which contains critical patches you need. And 2. work with a local fork of a dependency, for experimentation (e.g. to find a bug or try out an unpublished API). Neither of these are things that should be encountered by newcomers to the language - or very often at all. If you are using replace as part of your regular workflow, I do agree that you are probably misusing it. It's just hard to understand why, from what you said so far (barring the "I don't have an internet connection and want to use something from my module cache" case, which I find surprising, if that's part of your regular workflow).
