It's not a back-annotate.  When I have N copies of a module, I only
design the first, and make N-1 copies of it with different refdes
numbers.  All page-renumber does is make a copy of a schematic page
but with different refdes numbers.

The RenumberBlock() plugin does the same for a layout - I lay out the
first module, then copy it N-1 times with different numbers.  As long
as the PCB renumber and the SCH renumber match, everything works.
