The Hubble currently can sense in the wavelength range of 0.11 microns to 1.1 microns (1 order of magnitude). The JWST has two instruments to cover the range 0.5 microns to 28 microns (1.75 orders of magnitude). So no, it isn't a drop-in replacement, but it covers MORE of the EM spectrum. Remember, there is a lot more out there then just visible light.
