No - it doesn't replace the repository, but offers a management tool for research. Inputs to the CRIS can include grant record systems, student record systems, MIS systems etc, and outputs can include publication lists and repositories.
But when emphasising the benefits of depositing in a repository to depositors, all of the user types you list will benefit through the use of different systems and methods. OK, so these user groups have different needs and views, but they are all still benefiting.
Apologies - I shouldn't post so early in the morning!
Here is a version that might make some sense:
Whilst I have no proof, my gut instinct is to agree with you. Examples of well-populated repositories such as TCD (Dublin) and Imperial College are backed by CRISs.
I think CRISs and the benefits they bring easier for users to understand, and they are easier to mandate the use of.
