We can't just get rid of these docs without deprecating the behaviour it documents (if indeed we do want to change the behaviour, which I'm not sure we do in this case), in particular

Meanwhile, if you do not want this behavior (i.e., you want to force the creation of a new subplot), you must use a unique set of args and kwargs.

I'm very concerned about this change, even if it was to go through a deprecation phase. As indicated in #19432 I don't understand why one would ever want the same axes to be returned if the projection and kwargs are different?

I don't think I can dismiss my review, but if another maintainer wants to then go ahead. Apologies for jumping the gun on lots of this discussion, that has clearly been discussed more thoroughly on a dev call. I've tagged this as release critical so we don't forget it either way.
