I had comparable requirements to yours. See below links.

[Feature request] option to automatically install a package when using `using`

opened 07:54AM - 12 Mar 22 UTC

As suggested by @KristofferC in the following link: https://discourse.julialang….org/t/using-package-install-automatically/70896/5 I am opening an issue so that maintainers can discuss whether they deem it useful or not to have an option to automatically install a package when using `using`. That option would bypass the prompt message asking whether the user wants to install the package or not. Just speaking for myself here (i.e. not for other users), but when I use `using X`, I will probably answer yes 99% of the time to the question "do you want to install package X". That option could be implemented via macro or env variable, I don't really have a strong view on it. I just think it is a nice to have option. Thank you
