How much does Replication use tempdb database?

Does Replication create temporary objects in tempdb that take up much space
other than monitoring log info?
Could such replication objects cause high IO on drive where tempdb resides?
A developer was telling me that tempdb is being used by replication to do
this and I am asking as a sanity check, since I couldn't find much mention of
it in MS documentation.
Thanks,

It is used for monitoring, by the merge replication synchronization
process, and during snapshot generation and distribution.
If you are applying indexes on the subscriber (as part of the
replication process), it will also make use of tempdb at that time.
