Of course not.

  1. You are not using the return value of the “replace” method.

  2. You are not passing your function a proper value for the formal
     parameter “hex”, but the string value '$1' instead.
     ('$1' is only expanded with the first captured subpattern if
      the entire argument is a string value.)

  3. You are not matching that which you intend to match.
     (You are only matching a single hexadecimal digit.)

This should work:

  const generateHex2Rgba =
    ((alpha = 1) => ((hex, red, green, blue, count) => {
      let [r, g, b] = [red, green, blue].map(s => parseInt(s, 16));
      return `rgba(${r},${g},${b},${alpha})`;
    }));

  str = str.replace(
    /#([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{2})/gi,
    generateHex2Rgba()
  );

Why you want to do that remains a mystery, though.
