@crusaderky Yes, I think it could be reasonable to unify array types when you call broadcast() or align(), as either as optional behavior or by changing the default.

If your scalar array is the result of an expensive dask calculation, this also might be a good use case for dask's new .persist() method (https://github.com/dask/dask/issues/1908), which we could add to xarray as an alternative to .compute().
