This PR addresses issue [#31130](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/31130) by replacing specific safe occurrences of `np.column_stack` with `np.vstack().T` for better performance.

**IMPORTANT:** This is a more targeted fix than originally proposed. Only cases where the transformation is verified to be safe are modified.

### Performance Improvement

According to benchmarks in issue [#31130](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/31130):

- With broadcast: `np.column_stack` → 36.47 µs, `np.vstack().T` → 27.67 µs (24% faster)
- Without broadcast: `np.column_stack` → 20.63 µs, `np.vstack().T` → 13.18 µs (36% faste
