Is there a pin-compatible replacement for DFE322512F-4R7M=P2?

While several inductors share the 1210 package, no pin-compatible replacements with matching or better electrical specifications (especially current rating) have been verified. All known options are downgrades.

What risks should I check before replacing DFE322512F-4R7M=P2?

Key risks are thermal and electrical. Verify the substitute's current rating (both RMS and saturation), DC resistance (DCR), operating temperature range, and inductance tolerance to ensure it meets your application's power needs.
