Is there a pin-compatible replacement for HC-XH-5A-G?

While several parts are functionally identical, true pin-to-pin compatibility requires comparing the mechanical drawings in the datasheets. No replacement has been pre-verified as 100% pin-compatible.

What risks should I check before replacing HC-XH-5A-G?

The main risk is mechanical mismatch. Check the candidate's datasheet for housing dimensions, pin length, and PCB footprint to ensure it fits your board and mates with the corresponding connector.
