I think a bigger number than 12 would be appropriate. Personally I would almost always prefer to see the full output, even (especially?) if it's big. The only exception would be cases where variables are (mis)used instead of a dimension, e.g., variable_1, variable_2, etc, but these cases are relatively rare and are not what Xarray is primarily designed for.

There are plenty of examples of datasets/netCDF files with tens of distinct variables, and I think we should reveal these variables by default. For example, consider this xgcm example of ocean model output with 35 data varaibles: https://xgcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/xgcm-examples/01_eccov4.html

I'm thinking that perhaps 50 or 100 would be a better default?
