In Magento 1, as a module developer it's possible to change a block's template using layout XML code something like this
<reference name="block_to_change">
<action method="setTemplate">
<param>/path/to/template.phtml</param>
</action>
</reference>
and then adding your template to the base theme.
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/path/to/template.phtml
Is it possible, as a module developer, to do something similar in Magento 2? Or would I need to use layout XML or PHP code to remove the block I'm interested in, and insert a new block with a different template (whose class extends the original block class's)
I know I could create a custom theme that replaces a template, but I'm interested in creating a module that changes the default template, but still allows a custom theme to then replace that template.

To understand the difference between <arguments> and <action> you must understand how the constructors of Magento 2 objects work. If you override a constructor in Magento, you'll always get a $data-parameter which is an array. This is the data as provided in the XML files and translated to the internal $_data-array of MagentoFrameworkDataObject:
<referenceBlock name="catalog.topnav">
<arguments>
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Foo_Bar::buzz.phtml</argument>
</arguments>
</referenceBlock>
...
public function __construct(array $data = [])
// $_data is populated with the arguments from XML:
// so $_data['template'] is now 'Foo_Bar::buzz.phtml'
$this->_data = $data;
However, in the case of a template, if setTemplate() is used in the pseudo constructor (_construct(), single underscore), this means that the $data is overridden, no matter if it's set in the XML.
public function _construct()
$this->setTemplate('foo/bar.phtml');
In that scenario, <action> is prefered, since this is executed after the constructor & pseudo constructor.
<referenceBlock name="catalog.topnav">
<action method="setTemplate">
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Foo_Bar::buzz.phtml</argument>
</action>
</referenceBlock>

The following worked for me in Magento EE 2.2.3
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="core.module.block.name" template="[Vendor]_[Module]::path/to/your/template.phtml" />
</body>
</page>
Note: if you are using a custom module to change a core's template and you are going mad because the previous code snipped does not work, make sure your module is loaded after the core module you are trying to change (module.xml) and you executed bin/magento setup:upgrade :)

I don't know why, but i find this way to be the best:

This will work only if your block wasn't overwritten before using setTemplate method. Magento 2.2.x and higher.

Thanks - I'll just leave a reference to a bug report here github.com/magento/magento2/issues/3356 - the method posted in this answer, while possibly the future way of doing things, does not yet work as advertised

@KAndy Is your code example 100% correct? I tried that and I can't get it to work in any way. The other answer from @Mage2.PRO (which uses<action method='setTemplate'>) works without problems.

To understand the difference between <arguments> and <action> you must understand how the constructors of Magento 2 objects work. If you override a constructor in Magento, you'll always get a $data-parameter which is an array. This is the data as provided in the XML files and translated to the internal $_data-array of MagentoFrameworkDataObject:
<referenceBlock name="catalog.topnav">
<arguments>
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Foo_Bar::buzz.phtml</argument>
</arguments>
</referenceBlock>
...
public function __construct(array $data = [])
// $_data is populated with the arguments from XML:
// so $_data['template'] is now 'Foo_Bar::buzz.phtml'
$this->_data = $data;
However, in the case of a template, if setTemplate() is used in the pseudo constructor (_construct(), single underscore), this means that the $data is overridden, no matter if it's set in the XML.
public function _construct()
$this->setTemplate('foo/bar.phtml');
In that scenario, <action> is prefered, since this is executed after the constructor & pseudo constructor.
<referenceBlock name="catalog.topnav">
<action method="setTemplate">
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Foo_Bar::buzz.phtml</argument>
</action>
</referenceBlock>

The following worked for me in Magento EE 2.2.3
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="core.module.block.name" template="[Vendor]_[Module]::path/to/your/template.phtml" />
</body>
</page>
Note: if you are using a custom module to change a core's template and you are going mad because the previous code snipped does not work, make sure your module is loaded after the core module you are trying to change (module.xml) and you executed bin/magento setup:upgrade :)

I don't know why, but i find this way to be the best:
<referenceBlock name="sales.order.items.renderers.default" template="Foo_Bar::sales/order/items/renderer/default.phtml"/>

This will work only if your block wasn't overwritten before using setTemplate method. Magento 2.2.x and higher.
