Comment (by ChopinBach):

 The "rest_{$this->post_type}_collection_params" filter can be used to add
 in additional `orderby` values. To add random, you could hook in like
 this:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_filter( 'rest_post_collection_params',
 'my_prefix_add_rest_orderby_params', 10, 1 );

 function my_prefix_add_rest_orderby_params( $params ) {
     $params['orderby']['enum'][] = 'rand';

     return $params;
 }
 }}}

 If there is a consensus on what should be added as supported defaults, I
 can make a patch. The hook is already available to use.
