Doesn't min_const_generics (stable once 1.51 releases on 2021-03-25) cover everything std needs (implementing traits for arbitrary array sizes)?

I believe that it does, yes. We haven't hit that in stable yet, though, so I am speaking purely in the present. You're right that it's looking good for stabilization in a few months, but anything can happen, in theory. I'm more trying to illustrate the point, that significant features can depend on something that's unstable currently. Those impls landed well before it was even marked as being stable in nightly.
