I think the difference between what I'm proposing here and what already exists (e.g. in holoviews, xrviz, etc.) is considering interactivity as something that is useful independent of plotting.

The interactive widgets in holoviews and xrviz are obtained from Panel, which is a separate library that is already explicitly designed for specifying and constructing interactivity independent of plotting. E.g. we often use Panel widgets with no plotting to set up simulations or analyses interactively, then run whatever we specified. The interactive function in Panel already works much like what you laid out above, unless I'm missing something.

It sounds like you're hoping for something that is independent of plotting (like Panel) and provides interactive widgets (like Panel) but also has specific support for multidimensional arrays (like HoloViews)? I don't think that's much code, but it could be useful to provide for Xarray in a convenient API.
