Try It Online (TIO)

Try It Online[0] seems to offer a very similar service - if you don't care about the collaboration aspect of it. It claims to be self-hostable[1]. glot.io[2] is another, which seems to fit more in the realm of "pastebin with runnable snippets". As I understand it, a big sell of repl.it is that they have some kind of collaborative editing support, which none of the alternatives I was able to find in a few minutes of digging have. Google Colab has this, but only support Python (AFAIK) and is not open source. 0 - https://tio.run/#.

GitHub Codespaces

I'm surprised anyone would invest in this technology when Microsoft has made it pretty clear they're going to dominate this space with https://github.com/features/codespaces.

StackBlitz

It's kinda funny how this whole drama is for copying some "intellectual property" that anyone can easily build. If you don't want your virtual cloud sandbox app to be copied easily, build something that actually is novel. For example see Stackblitz https://stackblitz.com/ I think they're going to completely destroy all these Replit-like models.
