You could also use telltale signs, if they exist:

  . if a ts mode is already loaded (featurep test)
  . if auto-mode-alist defines a ts mode for the relevant files

But these cannot be relied upon 100%, because the user might prefer a
ts mode, but has not yet loaded it or used it in this session.  So a
fallback is needed, and that can only be a user option, I think.
