Ouch! I agree this is annoying. And yes, the open_dataset docs definitely need updating.

The general rule is that ValueError is too generic of an exception for it to be appropriate to catch in user code. So indeed, if you need to catch that error something has gone wrong :).

Given this use case, perhaps we should have a special exception type here, something like xarray.NoMatchingEngineError.
