Description
I’m considering adding a copy of ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist to the init folder, and a script or a check in .osx to move it to the correct location if iTerm is available.
The problem is this cannot be done from within iTerm itself, else the imported settings would get overwritten upon exit.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing init folder and .osx entry point to understand how macOS settings are installed and how optional applications are detected. The work is done when iTerm settings can be installed from the repository only when iTerm is available, without being overwritten when iTerm exits.
