Given the fact that distributed writes never actually worked, I would be happy at this point if they worked for some backends (e.g. netCDF4 and zarr) but not all (e.g. scipy, h5netcdf). We could document this and make sure to raise an appropriate NotImplementedError if the user tries a distributed write with a non-supported backend.

I make this suggestion because I know Joe has been slogging through this for a long time and it may be better to get it merged and live to fight another day. On the other hand, if Joe is optimistic about resolving the remaining backends, then by all means carry on!
