Current udisks2 has a dependency on libblockdev-mdraid3, and
libblockdev-mdraid3 has a dependency on mdadm. This effectively makes
mdadm required on desktop systems.

As I understand it from
https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/1142 , udisks2 needs
to depend on libblockdev-mdraid3. (And that much isn't necessarily an
issue, it's just a library.)

Would it be possible for libblockdev-mdraid3 to avoid pulling in mdadm,

By avoid, I assume you mean not even demoting it to Recommends would be an option for you, but drop the dependency completely (or make it a Suggests)

so that systems not using RAID don't have to have mdadm and its
associated configuration and boot-time logic installed?

And then I'll get bug reports like
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=989493

I can't really win this.
