1. I didn't replace the bass with a midi instrument and I have no idea why most people think that the bass is almost unusable. It didn't take me more than a TSE BOD 2.1 (my go to plugin for bass in heavy music), some medium compression (~ 6dB gain reduction) and some minor eq (low cut, high cut and taking the rumbling low mids a bit) and the bass was done.
2. That's just a matter of personal taste, I think. I like my bass dead center, since there is so much stuff going on at the sides, that I don't wanna rip a hole into the center by spreading out the most fundamental rhythm instruments (kick, snare and bass). But if you get some good results with making the bass wider, why not?
