Currently, ds0.combine_first(ds1) gives exactly the same result as xr.merge([ds0, ds1]). But for data arrays it still offers something new.

Either 1.) my combine_first should be doing something different with datasets, or 2.) we don't need a combine_first for datasets, or 3.) change xr.merge so that when applied to data arrays, it creates a new data array with outer-join and fillna (by chaining combine_first down the list of data arrays).
