Not sure if it matters too much, but nanoarrow_dep is duplicative here, since nanoarrow_testing_dep already includes that in its declare_dependency declaration

Does it matter that nanoarrow_testing_dep doesn't list link_with: nanoarrow_lib? Or maybe that would only matter with hidden visiblity? There were some places that listed nanoarrow_ipc_dep and nanoarrow_dep, which I tried to replicate here, but I really have no idea 😬

Don't think so - I believe the nanoarrow_dep it has as a dependency will take care of that. Using CMake as an analogy, I think:
nanoarrow_dep = declare_dependency(link_with: nanoarrow_lib, ...)is akin to using the PUBLIC keyword when setting the link libraries of a target
target_link_libraries(nanoarrow PUBLIC nanoarrow_lib)i.e. it becomes transitive for any target that references the dependency

(in the CMake example, nanoarrow would probably be an INTERFACE library)

Is there any advantage to adding this as a new build option versus just having it tied to the existing tests option?

I think so...one could use the testing library from another project, too (in which case you probably wouldn't want to build nanoarrow's tests too).
After #561 , the nanoarrow_testing library is no longer header-only and requires linking!
