Safety is the number one answer. If your retainer wall support a portion of your home or is close enough that failure would cause considerable damage to your home, then replacement should always be considered as an option.
If the wall is leaning more than 12 degrees and/or if the footing is crumbling below the wall, reconstruction is the best option. Hillside stability issues, including slope failure will cause any retainer wall to catastrophically fail.
