I've been away from mapping utility data for several years but have returned to a local government with the typical water, sewer, and storm system datasets. I understand that geometric networks are / will be deprecated and that we can now choose from Utility Networks and Trace Networks. Based on what I've read, Utility Networks and the feature classes involved cannot be included in a replica. However, I cannot find any documentation on the impact of Trace Networks on replication. Can you set up a Trace Network on a parent database and then create a child replica from it?

You can take a map offline with feature service sync.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sync capability available for ArcGIS Server feature services and hosted feature layers allows you to take feature layers offline in a web map that is configured for offline use. When the data is taken offline, the layers reference a local copy of the data. This allows you to make edits and complete your work without the requirement to be connected to the network. Once network availability is restored, you can upload your local edits.
When you enable sync on a feature service (feature layer), you can also use it in a distributed collaboration.
Before you publish an ArcGIS Server feature service to be used offline, you must configure the data to meet offline requirements.
Feature service replicas provide the mechanism that allows you to synchronize offline feature layers with the source data. The feature service replica receives edits made offline that are subsequently synchronized to the source feature layer. During synchronization, the feature service replica also receives the edits made in the source feature layer and makes them available to the feature layer that was taken offline.
When you take ArcGIS Server feature service data offline, a feature service replica is always created.
Depending on the data present in the feature service and the options used when you publish the service, a replica version may also be created and associated with the feature service replica. To learn more about scenarios when a replica version is created, see Prepare data for use in offline feature services.
