There is also the philosophical problem of fill values for coordinate variables.

Indeed, this is prohibited by CF conventions -- but xarray (like pandas) takes a more flexible approach here, allowing for missing values for all variables.

You can already specify an explicit choice for _FillValue, e.g., ds.to_netcdf(..., encoding={'my_variable': {'_FillValue': 1e35}}). Allowing {'_FillValue': False} to indicate that _FillValue should not be included would be a simple, easy fix, so we should probably do that regardless.

(There is no need worry about False conflicting with a legitimate fill value since netCDF does not have a boolean dtype.)
