Both of which depend on the plpythonu functions running with plpython3u, 
in other words that they are Python3 compatible. Have you verified that?

I would suggest working on the schema portion separate from the data:

pg_restore -s -f out_dump_schema.sql dump.pgdump*

Do your search and replace, restore to database and then:

pg_restore -a ...  dump.pgdump*

Where -a is data only.

In fact if you have control of the pg_dump break it into two parts:

pg_dump -s ...  --schema

pg_dump -a ...  --data only

I'm guessing you meant plpythonu above.

Personally I would go with solution 1 with the modifications I suggested.
