Seismic is good, but excels when you're hunting more than playing a static position type role like fire support, ranged combat, etc.

Seismic is a wall hack and lets you see enemy locations without having to give up your own. It's also free if you use it instead of 150 UAVs.

It also doesn't give your team the info like uav or doesn't give locks aka exact information where the enemy is.
So I wouldn't say either one can replace another, both are good.

That's what voip or text chat is for. And neither of those can be shot down by the enemy.

Seismic is useful at the gates on Grim Portico and Emerald Taiga. That's it.

Vision is useful on Boreal Vault and Hellebore Springs. That's it.

And then consumables are over the rest. Who needs range modules when you are pushing into the enemy with your unit while you shoot so much that you are close to overheating and cooldown modules become meaningless? In fact, you only need modules when you drop solo or at lance size, consumables decide the clashes of units.

it doesn't relay that to the enemy and has a very limited range though. and you have to be standing still to use it. It's not a very useful if you're in a mech that's designed to fight from the rear lines because you aren't close enough to make any use of it most times.

In my scout mechs it's invaluable, in my fire support big mechs, not so much.

ever heard "A picture is worth a thousand words"?

Voices in your head are worth more than the picture that gets immediately set on fire, and also reduces your end match rewards.
