Publishing an app on Google Play (replacement with another)?

Question

Google

Good afternoon. We have application A on financial topics.
There are about 100k installs, reviews and all that. Now version 1.3
But, we are doing a large project (mobile application) also on financial topics. And in order not to roll out from scratch, there is such a plan as publications with the replacement of Appendix A. i.e. We will simply replace applications A with our new product, with a different name, screenshots, etc., description. But the essence of the application will remain the same and the theme.
Are there any risks in this regard? Is it possible to do so?
Will we get banned?
