I'd like to add to this discussion the issue I brought up here #2288. It is something that could/should probably result in a new xarray add-on package for doing these type of operations. For example, I work on the pyresample and satpy projects. Pyresample uses its own "AreaDefinition" objects to define the geolocation/projection information. SatPy uses these AreaDefinitions by setting DataArray.attrs['area'] and using then when necessary. This includes the ability to write geotiffs using rasterio and a custom array-like class for writing dask chunks to the geotiff between separate threads (does not work multiprocess, yet).

Edit: by "add-on" I mean something like "geoxarray" where it is an optional dependency for a user that depends completely on xarray.
