Ideas:

  1. Use pythontex and the remote PlantUML server using Python's plantuml.

  2. Build on checklistings, which generates a checklistings.sh file for the compiler. Drawback: Users have to call an external tool.

  3. Use pythontex and its bash functionality to locally execute PlantUML.

  4. Use bashful to execute bash scripts.

The package download can download files, but this does not help much here as we can also download plantuml within a bash script.

Alternative: Align with the plantuml.sty project.
