Best practice is to replace the footwell?

It depends on the rest of the footwell and what repairs you are doing. If that is all the corrosion, then no need to replace, just treat the rust and repaint.
Easy way to check what is steel or aluminium is to use a magnet. |

I wouldn't count that as severe at all! Personally I'd treat and repaint
