Opening an issue for myself to work through to try and help get a clean run on this with Mac.

Also worth nothing Extensions -> Render -> Silhouette is not there

is the INX file in the wrong folder maybe? you can double check what is the folder given in the inkscape > preferences > system > inkscape extensions and verify the installation of sendto_silhouette.inx went to the correct place... HTH

Inkscape extensions: /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/share/inkscape/extensions

INFO: installing extension
INFO: directory already exists '/Users/brandon/Library/Application Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions/silhouette'. Removing it and recreating it.

It's getting installed to User extensions folder instead, do you think that's an error or ok @t0b3 ?

https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/manage-extensions-not-working-version-11-no-module-named-gi/ it could be an Inkscape extension manager issue and not related to this extension per se

both should work fine, although could be interesting for debugging purpose to try it the other way round to see if the observed error persists...
