I think the runner was out because he was half way to 2nd base instead of being a safe distance from first. Maybe it was a blown hit and run or something, but either way, in my view it was the runners fault, not replay.

Making this "above the base" replay change would still result in digging deeper and deeper into the minutia of the play. We'd soon have people calling into the radio stations wondering why they can't fly a drone over the bases to see if the runner was really over the base or just outside, lol

Or we could just get rid of replay if we are willing to live with the spirit of the rules and not the technicalities.
