OK, I think pandera isn't the way forwards because it appears very tighly coupled to Pandas (so, for example, I don't think it's possible to use pandera with n-dimensional arrays).

But Pydantic looks promising. Here's a very quick coding experiment showing one way to use pydantic with xarray... it validates a few things; but it's not super-useful as a human-readable specification for what's going on inside a DataArray or Dataset.
