BUT @shoyer has been consistent against making Variable public, so maybe the best option is to fork it out to xarray-contrib/variable?

Variable is a public API, which just don't encourage it for (most) users.

I think it would be relatively straightforward to expose xarray.Variable without the pandas dependency. We currently use pandas a little bit for input normalization in Variable and methods like isnull(), but we could likely add slower fallback option (or just not expose these features unless pandas is installed).
