Is it possible to disable Replace mode in vim?

Put simply, how can I completely disable Replace mode in vim? I never use Replace mode, but I sometimes end up in it by accident when re-entering Insert Mode. Naturally, I goof up by typing over a few characters before realizing I am in replace mode. So, is there any way to completely disable Replace mode, whether through configuration setup or however?

vim replace

Not sure if this is the best way, but you could map R and r to nothing in your .vimrc:

map R <C-V><C-V>
map r <C-V><C-V>

Edit: or this:

map R <Nop>
map r <Nop>
