Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 25121WF150LT4E?

Yes, HoYLR2512-2W-150mR-1% and HoYLR2512-3W-150mR-1% are pin-compatible replacements. They share the same 2512 package and land pattern but offer upgraded electrical characteristics.

What risks should I check before replacing 25121WF150LT4E?

Before replacing, verify that the different resistor technology (Metal Alloy vs. the original's Thick Film) is acceptable for your circuit's performance, especially regarding pulse handling. For parametric alternatives like HoJLR2512-3W-160mR-1%, you must recalculate circuit values due to the different resistance.
