I am intrigued by Replica Studios, because I'm tired of dealing with Fiver. However, I am disappointed to see that this forum is pretty much dead; the most recent post is a month ago or so. Is anyone out there still using Replica? I get the impression that the most experienced iClone users jumped in early and then stopped using it. Am I wrong? So, I'd like an opinion. Is it worthwhile going through the installation process and the learning curve? Is anyone out there having really good results with it? Or is it just a gimmic, with potential but not ready for prime-time yet?

Surely go for it!
And get those free 4 hours, offered here:
https://www.reallusion.com/iclone/ai-voice-replica/
Scroll down to bottom "iClone 7 Users REDEEM NOW"
It's not perfect but Replica is still evolving and definitely not dead.
No matter how often you use it, it's a great tool to have...
No steep learning curve!

I agree that it's not perfect, and that it is still evolving with potential. You get 30 mins free just for joining, and an added 4 hours extra through Reallusion. I had no issues installing the plugin and Replica software.
There isn't really a learning curve, watch the RL video and scroll through the help notices on the site to get up and running quickly. They're still building their voice collection, and while I find that quite a lot of the available voices are more suited for gaming environment some can be applied to "normal" dialog with a little tweaking.
It has the great advantage, IMHO, of adding the voice, text and visemes directly in iClone for instant preview and use.

I see that it's unanimous, so I'll give it a try. My one quibble is their pricing model. On the surface it seems really cheap. But after perusing their forum I see that they don't charge for just what you use; audition/tweaking time is charged as well. I could see blowing through four hours just investigating the voices and figuring out tweaking tricks. Considering that I'm just a 70-year-old hobbiest making videos for my grandkids, that can get kind of pricey. But I'll see how it goes. Thanks!

I used it for the first two of my AccuLips contest entries and was quite pleased with it:
