Is there a pin-compatible replacement for UUD1H221MNL1GS?

Yes, both UWD1H221MCL1GS and UCD1H221MNL1GS from Nichicon are pin-compatible replacements. They share the same 10x10mm surface-mount package and 2-pin layout.

What risks should I check before replacing UUD1H221MNL1GS?

The primary risk is performance degradation if a replacement does not have sufficiently low impedance (ESR) or an adequate ripple current rating. Always verify these two parameters from the datasheet before substituting.
