Of course not... It is impossible to build a replication system entirely by only using triggers...
Hm, I don't think it's impossible, just unpractical. Anyway, if you say so yourself, I really doubt the use of GAPI. If you need to create your own hooks anyway beside GAPI, why use GAPI at all? Better have one kind of 'hooking' (i.e. with a dynamically loaded library).
But definitely, there is a set of common requirements among a variety of replication systems. Moreover, such requirements are also useful to other systems as well.
So far, they are only partly usable for replication. I never looked into materialized views or anything else that would benefit from such triggers.
