Not even close. I use both and AOD is useful for notifying me of all notifications, whereas the notification led notifies me of specific important notifications.
It's just not a viable replacement
It isn't for you but not everyone needs or wants an LED.... unfortunately you can't pick and choose what options are on a particular device. None of us can, but we can buy the devices that make the most sense for us. That's the best we can do.
