Actually, this is easy to do with a simple configuration:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(advice-add 'edebug-pop-to-buffer :around
            (lambda (orig-fun buffer &optional window)
              (when (string-prefix-p "edebug" (format "%s" real-this-command))
                (window--display-buffer buffer (old-selected-window) 'reuse
                                        '(nil (inhibit-same-window . nil))))
              (funcall orig-fun buffer window))
            '((name . edebug-pop-to-buffer-same-window)))
#+end_src
