As a provider of a third-party backend, I would love to be able to integrate with xarray without including xarray as a dependency in my library, and xarray is actually really close to a place where that would be possible.

The main development effort on the xarray side would be creating a generic LazyLoadingBackendStore that accepts duck-typed backends (xarray can define them using Protocols for mypy goodness).

If there is interest in pursuing this, I can help with developing a prototype to test feasibility.
