Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 0603WAF750KT5E?

Yes, all reviewed alternatives use the same 0603 package and are pin-compatible. However, their electrical parameters like resistance and tolerance differ, so they are not drop-in replacements.

What risks should I check before replacing 0603WAF750KT5E?

Verify the impact of different resistance values (e.g., 6.8Ω or 8.2Ω). For some options, check if a looser tolerance (±5% vs ±1%) is acceptable. Also, note that candidates offer no increased power rating.
