If you put all the regexes and their replacements into a table[1], you could use an aggregate over them to combine all the replacements into the final string. It would need some aggregate like regex_replace_agg, which would probably be a custom aggregate.

[1]: If you stick to ASCII, you could just calculate them and even omit storing them in a physical table.
