these optional modules may alter the way my program expects tshark to
behave.

I.e., you want a "disable all user plugins" option.

If you *really* want the program to run deterministically for all users, you also need a "disable the user's personal 
configuration" option.

I believe for my usecase, the best is to wrap the tshark call with an
XDG_CONFIG_HOME pointing nowhere or to a vanilla wireshark config. Not
sure if there is any difficulty though, I will have a try.

As long as the "other computers" aren't running Windows, where XDG_CONFIG_HOME has no effect....
