The problem I see with an array approach from an api perspective is simply when a bucket

Perhaps a linked list would be a better choice for this, as we can just be smart about bucket
access, and eliminate the need for a scan (could be possible I'm missing something?)
I agree, a singly linked list seems like a no-brainer; it's an ideal memory-pool data structure because inserts and deletes occur only at the front of the list (so they're constant-time), the links are free, and the implementation is straightforward.
