Is there a pin-compatible replacement for GRM0335C1H3R9CA01D?

No, a verified pin-compatible replacement is not available. Candidates with the same 0201 package have different capacitance values that require circuit validation before use.

What risks should I check before replacing GRM0335C1H3R9CA01D?

The main risks are package and capacitance. Ensure the replacement fits the PCB footprint (0201). Verify that any deviation in capacitance (from the target 3.9pF) is acceptable for your circuit's performance.
