Are there still possible scenarios for transaction replays from Bitcoin Cash or vice versa?

I have three questions with regard to replay protection.

Q1 => Some non-standard scripts (like x + 2 = 5) do not require signatures (so naturally no SIGHASH_FORKID) to spend the UTXOs. Are these UTXOs and transactions still prone to replays?

Q2 => I have read the documents from the inception of Bitcoin Cash and realized that the legacy transaction digest algorithm is not being used anymore. From my understanding, the 4-byte sighash type is appened at the rear of the digested transaction input (Both for SigVersion::BASE and SigVersion::WITNESS_V0) and if a unique sighash flag is used, the uint256 SignatureHash result would be completely different. The SignatureHash function in the src/script/interpreter.cpp file of Bitcoin Cash only allows BIP-143 digest algorithm when SIGHASH_FORKID is in use. What if Bitcoin Cash developers only enforced the use of SIGHASH_FORKID and embraced Segwit? Is a unique sighash flag not enough to prevent replays?

Q3 => If a unique sighash flag (SIGHASH_FORKID) is not enough to prevent replays, then is it because of the malleability issue on legacy transactions?

Dogecoin is now moving closer than ever to joining the roster of cryptocurrencies with their own US-listed exchange-traded funds, and the timeline for the first launch is becoming clearer.  After a series of regulatory filings and updates from major fund issuers, analysts now believe that the debut of the first Spot Dogecoin ETF is just days away. All signs now point to a launch window that could open as early as Monday, bringing the long-anticipated product to market far sooner than many expected . Grayscale Positions Its Dogecoin ETF For A Close Launch The clearest signal came after Grayscale updated its Dogecoin ETF filing, which started a 20-day countdown under the SEC’s new fast-track listing rules. These rules allow certain crypto ETFs to go live without the lengthy and restrictive approval process that previous products faced.  Unless the SEC steps in with an objection, the end of this 20-day window will become the launch date of the proposed ETF. Based on the timi...
