All replaces are disallowed when using "go install" with a version number, regardless of what kind they are; see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40276, specifically the sections about "replace".
I have a tool I'm currently rewriting that manages $GOBIN via a config file; I'm relying on "go install" where possible, but for modules that have replaces (for me, gopls at master), a workaround is to use a temporary module to pull everything in, copy over the replacements, then use a version-less "go install".
