My understanding is replicant can run on any
android phone.
Correct?

The reason why replicant is only available for a
few old phones
is because you have a modem isolation requirement
about
replicant.

Does the pinephone meet the modem
isolation requirement about replicant? If that is
the case and the pinephone becomes a
functioning phone of quality, I see no reason why
replicant should not make
the pinephone a priority. What other options about
a new phone does replicant
have?

Once on replicant's irc paulk
wrote, they had contacted fairphone in order to
advice fairphone on how to pick
a cpu with modem isolation, such that the phone
would get applicable
for a replicant version. Fairphone rejected.

Still if the pinephone's modem does not meet
replicant's modem isolation requirement,
should replicant not contact the pinephone team
and offer them their
advice?
