SQL Server Replication provides multi-faceted data movement capabilities across SQL Server releases which has been used by customers across the globe for a large number of years.

The requirements of upgrading a replication topology need to abide by the following guidelines:

A Distributor can be any version as long as it is greater than or equal to the Publisher version (in many cases the Distributor is the same instance as the Publisher).

A Subscriber to a merge publication can be any version less than or equal to the Publisher version.
