But you are the one who asked for it, aren't you? I mean, yes, a slave is not only somebody who works for a master, but somebody who does so for free and against their will. Whereas digital entities don't really have a will, and therefore the term is inappropriately used. In that sense, I think 'subordinate' is the word you're looking for. Simple replacement and not as extravagant as 'sheep'. That being said, 'master'/'slave' is a well-established technical terminology which has little to do with human slavery, mind you. I think you're going to have some difficulty fixing up config-visible options such as 'slaveOnly' (without breaking deployments, which you mentioned as one goal), so I'm not really sure what's the point, if "words of dubious moral value" are not completely purged from the code base. In the end I believe it's a balance between what problems this change is solving, vs what problems it's creating.
