I understand why this could be useful, but I don't see how we could possibly make it work.

The notion of "fixed dimension size" is fundamental to both NumPy arrays (upon which xarray is based) and the xarray Dataset/DataArray. There are lots of various workarounds (e.g., using padding or a MultiIndex) but first class support for jagged arrays would break our existing data model too severely.
