This would be optimal, as this way the lips do match.
I thought that maybe only replacing the audio was OK.
In certain cases it is. One option would be to retain the
original screencast, or we could even decide to not show
the person speaking. I proposed to have the narrator
video overlayed onto the screen recording to have
this flexibility

This is partially the reason that I proposed to decompose the narration
video into a separate audio and video stream from the start. A lot of
containers support multiple subtitle and multiple audio tracks, and it
is even possible for a player to autoselect them, for example based on
locale. This way we could provide an output, where narration video is
not overlayed, but an unlocalized screen recoding is available with
all the translated audio and subtitles. The extra comments and clarification
information is represented by the screen recording subtitles in my setup,
as these are most likely to connect to what you see on screen, rather than
what the narrator says, but it is perfectly possible to have a third set of
subtitles, independent of the recordings.

I think this one is for a later time, but it would be nice if you could help
with translations. One great benefit would be if we could translate at
least a few videos, that we could test the video translation infrastructure
and write up a workflow for further translators.
Sure! I mentioned the subtitles because of my accent - I speak Spanish, but the spanish from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I can write in neutral latin american spanish, but my spoken accent is different to the latin american audios from movies, and much more different to spanish from Spain. Even to different places of Argentina. But we could give it a try and make is as neutral as possible :) Or at least have a prototype for later.
I believe that at least for the subtitles part
