Hello,
Where can I find configuration for taskbar pinned apps to pin them using script after app instalation? more less admin solution for bulk device managemetn.
" GNOME Shell does not support automatically pinning icons to the Dash (favorites) for newly installed applications via a script or configuration setting. The favorite-apps list is a user-specific preference stored in gsettings (org.gnome.shell favorite-apps ) and must be managed manually or through explicit user action."

You can use this command to add favorites to the taskbar. In the square bracket add all .desktop file names of the apps you like to have in the panel, e.g.
dconf write /org/gnome/shell/favorite-apps "['org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop', 'org.gnome.TextEditor.desktop', 'libreoffice-writer.desktop', 'brave-browser.desktop', 'org.gnome.Settings.desktop', 'org.gnome.Software.desktop']"
You can add the apps with the GUI on a prototype computer and then display the .desktop file names of all pinned apps with
dconf read /org/gnome/shell/favorite-apps
You can also use the gsettings get... or gsettings set... commands instead of dconf read/dconf write:
gsettings get org.gnome.shell favorite-apps
to find out the names of the set applications, and this command to set the ones you like
gsettings set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps "['org.gnome.TextEditor.desktop', 'org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop']"
Maybe this site can also help you, but I'm not sure if it is up to date:
