bq: Would this be faster than using the CoreAPI to create a new core and specifying the collection and shard?
Not really. Under the covers, SolrCloud uses the old-style replication process if there are a large number of changes in the index. Basically, it's copying the files from the leader to the follower for you, just like you'd have to do anyway. So I'd just fire up the new replica for the shard, sit back and watch Solr do its magic.
