Question: All Differences between MmaTranslator[Mma][ReplaceRepeated] and eval[recurse]?

Maple has a myriad of kernel functions for doing different kinds of symbolic replacements to whole expressions: subs, eval, algsubs, applyrule, `simplify/siderels`, `simpl/eval`,  Physics:-Substitute, MTM:-subs, MmaTranslator:-Mma:-ReplaceRepeated, PDEtools:-dsubs, liesymm:-wsubs, student:-powsubs, etc. But if I need to apply transformation rules over and over again until the result no longer changes within  iterations in a singular clean built-in command (so, without explicit while / until / MmaTranslator:-Mma:-FixedPoint) elegantly, only four can be called: eval['recurse'], algsubs, applyrule, MmaTranslator['Mma']['ReplaceRepeated']. The difference between applyrule and algsubs has been elucidated in this help page:

However, I cannot find any explanation for the potential distinctions between eval['recurse'] and MmaTranslator['Mma']['ReplaceRepeated'] in their documentation. Does anyone know?

Besides, is it possible to use an "operator" form (like 'expr' $ 'i' = m..n) instead of a "functional" form (like `$`('expr',  'i' = m..n)) to perform (single or repeated) substitutions in Maple?
