You can set the tex preample without using the "pgf" backend. Here's how
I'm setup:


impot matplotlib
matplotlib.rcParams['text.usetex']
Out[12]: True

matplotlib.rcParams['text.latex.preamble']
Out[13]:
['\\usepackage{siunitx}',
 '\\sisetup{detect-all}',
 '\\usepackage{helvet}',
 '\\usepackage{sansmath}',
 '\\sansmath']
