I think given Repliku's existence is pure agony to himself that bringing him back fully be a mistake (especially since for personality he's really just kind of all of Riku's bad qualities meshed into one person) but it could be interesting to bring him back temporarily in order to continue the parallels between our replica twins. So say Sora brings Xion back for good and she gets to be on the side of light we could have the reverse with Repliku where he is brought back temporarily by Xehanort to fight on the side of darkness. I mean can't think of many other chances for either character to get a chance to speak with one of their own kind.
Xehanort is just the kind of person who wouldn't care about bringing back a being who feels pain just by existing, in a lot of ways he might even see that as a benefit he can harness. Repliku is a rather fitting choice for Xehanort to since he's both vulnerable to darkness and has all of Riku's emotional issues and inner weaknesses that made manipulating Riku in KH1 so easy. Also unlike Riku Repliku really has no one that would cause Repliku to rebel against him, having best friends you care about is the only reason KH1 Riku was able to break free of Xehanort's grasp.
