Best to replace army leaders because the corps disappear anyway. You may also want to use some AP to disband fortified zones to save armaments and remove AA support units from cities about to be overrun (1 AP each if enemies are within 5 hexes). You get 175 AP turn 4 so you can wait till then to really replace your leaders.

In my opinion one or two a turn.

I'd start with the fronts, good morale and high political. High political reduces the cost of replacing leaders in lower units. Next armies starting with the worst but then selective so as not to replace someone whose going get trapped. The corps disband, so no.

Remember if you chose a leader that is already assigned the AI will choose his replacement and it's usually a good one. So changing the leader of an army for a corps leader will result in a free ungrade of the corps leader, but 99% of corps disband. I'd only chose free leaders until after the corps disband.

Corps are generally a trap. The cav and airborne corps HQs remain but in general your army commanders are going to be so much better than corps commanders that units will do better most of the time without the entire chain of command.
