The biggest trouble I have is with tightening the space between the map and the colorbar at the bottom, but this looks like a cartopy/mpl question, not an xarray question, so I should quit pestering you guys.

You just need to pass the "pad" argument to cbar_kwargs.

The trickier problem is that sometimes cartopy can be a bit unpredictable in controlling the size and aspect ratio of axes after you've plotted maps on them. You can force a plot to respect the aspect ratio you use when you construct an axis by using the keyword aspect="auto", but it can be a bit difficult to get this to work in xarray sometimes. But at the end of the day, it's not a big deal to hand-craft a publication-quality figure once you know the rough gist of what you want to go on it - and xarray's tools are already great for that.
