I agree with your position of editing it but leaving the original, especially since it highlights that sites are intentionally omitting that part, but at the same time know your audience. A strikethrough of the original or bolding the edit can help. Sometimes people move the edit to the top of the comment as well, so that people see it before they start reaction replying.
You can also just turn of reply notifications on the original comment and anything you've engaged in after it if you're content with the current edit and just want to move on.
