There's probably some context around uses of avltree that should be
replaced. Perhaps a trailing dot: "avltree." replace with "self.tree." so
imports and assignments are ignored.

Also, your other, very helpful steps should minimize the trial and error
aspects of global find-replace. I wouldn't feel obligated to visually
inspect each one -- not on my first try, anyway.
