A puppet wouldn't be any more difficult to composite in. Either way, you'd have to rotoscope out the old puppet to create a clean plate and then comp in a new element which matches the camera angles and lighting. With CGI you have more freedom to change it after the fact, but with technology these days you have almost the same freedom with live action, as you can see the composites real-time as you are filming to make sure it matches.
