This tool was developed for legacy data conversion long before zarr-python supported Zarr V3. zarr-python now supports Zarr V3 and is nearing release, and xarray can be used for netCDF to Zarr V3 conversion with much more flexibility.

Additionally, virtualizarr / icechunk will eventually be suitable for treating legacy file formats (e.g., netCDF stacks) as virtual Zarr arrays. These can be automatically supported by zarrs_reencode etc.
