I don't run distributed, but I do use the parent option with hosts to point to the switch that they are behind. I see the parent/child relationship not so much from a visual perspective but more from a functional perspective. Since I don't want to get a zillion notifications if one of the switches fails, I set it up in this fashion.
With regards to the status maps, I don't see that they provide a whole lot of functionality, but if you want to clean them up, perhaps you can try using Nagvis. I have it on my list of future add-ons.
