I'm a holder of Russian passport, so no, I'm not a theoretician.
1) They block the whole-domain only in case of https which reminds you to turn-on the VPN. In case of http you could just have something like 404 response for particular page and you would never know that it's actually not 404, but ISP block (depends on ISP and DPI). So still https is preferable to be able to distinguish between two types of blocks.
2) They don't do "replace" in general, true, but for opposition resources they might be creative.
3) Most of hosters and content providers (if they don't have legal presence in Ru) don't care about legal orders from Russia (as well as from other third-world dictatorship regimes) until it's some real valid stuff to complain about.
