Is there a pin-compatible replacement for CGA0603C0G8R0C500JT?

Yes, several 0603 package capacitors like Yageo's CC0603BRNPO9BN8R2 are pin-compatible. As 2-pin surface-mount devices, they share the same land pattern.

What risks should I check before replacing CGA0603C0G8R0C500JT?

The main risk is a slight capacitance difference. The best alternatives have 8.2pF vs the target's 8.0pF. For sensitive timing or RF circuits, this small deviation should be verified.
