I don't immediately know the answer to your other questions,
but for this specific question, there are multiple versions of
ReplaceUses. The assertion here is present in the
simplest one, but there are more advanced ones, which
may be what's needed here.

Also, could you post your modifications to tablegen itself?
That might make it easier for us to see what you're talking
about.
