Oh, I just realize that pg_extension_{template,control,uptmpl} are not
SHARED catalogs, but you need to install the template per-database and
then need to enable it - per-database *again*. Why is that?

If you want to just upload extensions to a database via libpq, that
should be a single step (maybe rather just CREATE EXTENSION ... AS ...)
If you want "templates", those should be applicable to all databases, no?
