Is there a pin-compatible replacement for RC0402FR-0722KL?

Yes, several parts like RC0402FR-0721KL share the same 0402 package and pinout, but have slightly different resistance values. These are considered parametric, not direct, replacements.

What risks should I check before replacing RC0402FR-0722KL?

The main risk is the change in resistance. Candidates range from 20kΩ to 24kΩ. You must verify if your circuit can tolerate this deviation from the original 22kΩ value.
