The install spat out a lot of errors but completed "successfully". Running ~/.itch/itch gave normal-looking CLI output (again see attached itch logs, and see below for output in other logs), and popped up a blank GUI window, which closed after a couple seconds. It does not seem to actually work at all other than that ~/.itch/itch-setup --uninstall does seem to work correctly.
