Should the collection APIs need to be used to create a replicas?
The answer to that is an emphatic yes. ALL changes to SolrCloud collections should be handled through the Collections API.
If you are creating replicas any other way, such as CoreAdmin, or by manually crafting core.properties files and starting a new instance, then there's a risk that SolrCloud's internal operation could change and what you're doing might not work in a later release. Especially if you're upgrading through TWO major releases like this.
