But it's probably worth the tradeoff from a maintainability perspective, and also to fix issues like #1372.

I'm really not opposed to this. I also think it would be a good/reasonable thing to do before 1.0. There may be some pure-numpy Xarray users out there but I suspect they could 1) handle having dask as a dependency and 2) wouldn't be all that affected by the change since the in-memory workflow isn't particularly dependent on lazy evaluation.
