It looks like changing from default provider to explicit provider requires us to re-create the resources. Is there a way to do a replace instead of re-create?

yes, you can alias the provider <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/options/aliases/>

<@UCWG26BH7> Instead of `alias`, does Pulumi support manually replace the provider for each resource?

alias is the canonical way, you can modify the state if you’d like
