With MongoDB 3.6, dollar-prefixed fields were allowed. Invoking ReplaceOne on such a document, however, results in an error:
rs0:PRIMARY> db.coll.insertOne({"a": {"$foo": 1}})
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c86835900b48b0b86ee197d")
}
rs0:PRIMARY> doc = db.coll.findOne()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c86835900b48b0b86ee197d"), "a" : { "$foo" : 1 } }
rs0:PRIMARY> doc
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c86835900b48b0b86ee197d"), "a" : { "$foo" : 1 } }
rs0:PRIMARY> doc['b'] = 2
2
rs0:PRIMARY> db.coll.replaceOne({}, doc)

This happened on MongoDB 4.0.5, but probably happens on all versions. This smells of a validation that should have been removed in 3.6 when these field names were allowed.
I can't think of any reason that documents valid for insertOne wouldn't be valid for replaceOne.
