It sounds like making this work well would require xarray to support "unknown" dimension sizes throughout the codebase. This would be a nice feature to have, but indeed would likely require pervasive changes.

The other option would be to explicitly compute the shape when converting from dask dataframes, by calling dask_dataframe.shape[0].compute(). This would probably be more straightforward to implement but could potentially be pretty expensive in speed/memory.
