Replication is a poor alternative for multicast. For other actions, why, do you think, they are performed? Just for fun? Or to differentiate treatment of some packets, that is, prioritization?
You can send it to a different destination for stateful filtering when it doesn't match an expected pattern!
Unless pattern is as simple as having certain port number, stateful filtering almost always needs all packets including those matching expected pattern, I'm afraid.
SDN is not just QoS routing, please stop saying that.
See above.
Nope, not true. Had 1000 routes, only 100 available in FIB. So you filter to the top 50 doing traffic and default route the rest of the traffic. Less entries.
If default route is acceptable, just rely on it along with 50 non default routes with plain IP routers. Masataka Ohta
