Perhaps I'm posting this for myself, but here's a wrapper for the final example above showing how to replicate distplot()

def my_distplot(data=None, **kwargs):
    kwargs.setdefault("kde", True)
    kwargs.setdefault("stat", "density")
    kwargs.setdefault("kde_kws", dict(cut=3))
    kwargs.setdefault("alpha", .4)
    kwargs.setdefault("edgecolor", None)
    return sns.histplot(data, **kwargs)

edgecolor is set slightly differently from the example because distplot by default doesn't have edges (the example gives it white opaque edges)
