Dask & dask.distributed 2023.8.0 was easier to update than some of the other versions they had between 2022.12 and now. Dask would still benifit from pyarrow, by I added enough pytest.importorskip to avoid triggering the tests that depend on pyarrow. It also looks like it builds for me and the debian builder so I closed 1042135. Hopefully that helps. (And it looks like it's got some code for pandas 2.0 so hopefully that'll help Rebecca Palmer.
