This is exactly the same problem you have with all other "augmenting methods"
that have arbitrary parameters (e.g., __init__). When calling super on a
non-final class you could simply forward keyword arguments.
@dataclass
class X:
def __post_init__(self, **kwargs):
super().__post_init__(**kwargs)
...
@dataclass
class Y(X):
def __post_init__(self, **kwargs):
super().__post_init__(**kwargs)
...

Sounds good, done: https://groups.google.com/g/python-ideas/c/-gctNaSqgew
