This line fails the installation if pdflatex is not found which is not strictly correct I think. I have been able to use texlab with tectonic just fine

Could this be changed to check for either of pdflatex or tectonic

Ah I see. I read up a bit more on texlab and does seem like it's not really required. I personally haven't written latex in a long time so I'm not very knowledgable. Happy to receive PR that removes this check 😊
