Just as an aside, in many, if not most, jurisdictions when you replace a

That would depend on the exact layout with the closet, as a door in
front of the panel is not counted as an obstruction. If you can open the
closet door and look straight at the panel, it's probably fine.

It is still a NEC violation to have a panel in a clothes closet.

The closest I can find is Article 230.70(2) which prohibits the service
disconnecting means from being installed in a bathroom. An AHJ might
interpret a clothes closet as not meeting the requirements of 230.70(1),
but that is local interpretation, not a NEC violation.

240.24 (D)
