Does Session-Replay able to replay simulated traffic from Jmeter or Neoload?

Or any other load-testing tools like Selenium or LoadRunner?

As long as Dynatrace javascript is executed within the browser controlled by the testing automation tool, it will work.

As far as I know JMeter does not run the browser, but just simulates http requests. That means you don't get any DEM functionality including session replay for sessions run from JMeter.

You can replay scenarios from tools like Selenium which are simulating real users. Neoload and jMeter, as Julius said, are simulating requests sent from browser to test backend of your application, but they are not actually loading page with JS execution at all.
