That sounds like an attractive idea, but in term.txt, under "Added by
Vim", I see only:

t_SI start insert mode (bar cursor shape) *t_SI* *'t_SI'*
t_EI end insert mode (block cursor shape) *t_EI* *'t_EI'*

so I'm not able to see how you could do anything different for replace mode.

There is no mention of replace mode at :h modes, and insert mode
mappings are active in replace mode, so it appears not to be a full
mode, but a sub-mode of insert mode, AFAICT.
