I think its unavoidable that users understand how their data will be processed (e.g., whether operations will be mapped over time or space). But maybe some sort of heuristics (if not a fully automated solution) are possible.

For example, maybe chunks={'time'} (note the set rather than a dict) could indicate "divide me into automatically chosen chunks over the time dimension". It's still explicit about how chunking is being done, but comes closer to expressing the intent rather than the details.
