We seem to have different ideas of what replacing means. 
Here is the suggested script spelt out:

import xlsxwriter
 
from docx.api import Document
document = Document('/Users/xxx/Documents/xxx/Clauses Sample - Copy v1 - for merge.docx')

wb = xlsxwriter.Workbook('C:/Users/xxx/Documents/xx/test clause retrieval.xlsx')
sheet = wb.add_worksheet("Compliance")
 
offset = 0
for table in document.tables:
    for y, row in enumerate(table.rows):
        for x, cell in enumerate(row.cells):
            sheet.write(y + offset, x, cell.text)
    offset +=  len(table.rows) + 1  # one empty row between tables

wb.close()
