I'm pretty ignorant on advanced configurations of replication jobs so just throwing out a couple comments:
- What is your RTO for the daily "GFS" backups? Is it forgiving?
- Would instant recovery from backup copies be a sufficient alternative for what you're trying to do?
The way I see it - replication jobs essentially just shift the restore work to a more favorable period of time to reduce the time to recover. Of course they do other things too like IP address settings and offer failback features. If you don't see yourself needing those features, maybe using instant recovery is at least a temporary stop-gap measure.
