I think that you will most certainly need to separate installation and
configuration (e.g., with a "shim-install" script or similar), because
configuration depends on the environment. For instance, with removable
media you will need to:
1. Drop shim.efi and MokManager.efi into [/boot/]EFI/BOOT.
2. Rename BOOTx64.EFI to grubx64.efi, and then rename shim.efi to BOOTx64.EFI.

OVMF and real Secure Boot hardware.)
