I'm not sure if anti-discrimination laws require that the outcome be explainable as long as none of the inputs involve legally protected classes.

Yes, in general anti-discrimination law in the US, a disparate impact along a protected axis usually means that a decision must be justified on some neutral grounds. If there is no disparate impact attached to -- not just no express input related to -- some protected axis of discrimination, then, no, the outcome doesn't need to be explained.
