Sure:

busctl --user call org.gnome.Shell.Extensions 
/org/gnome/Shell/Extensions org.gnome.Shell.Extensions 
InstallRemoteExtension s $i

should work, although you/the user would need to confirm the 
installation of each extension.

You'd have to enable unsafe-mode and fiddle with `org.gnome.Shell.Exec`.
