Hi,
it would be good to know the Evolution version, as I've absolutely no
idea what the version is from the above. It's important, things could
change meanwhile.

... depending on your version, yes or no. When you
File->New->Collection Account and fill your WebDAV (CalDAV+CardDAV)
credentials (and eventually also server address (can be with path)),
then it'll auto-add all available books/calendars/memo/task lists
configured for that user.

Depending on your version, evolution-data-server allows getting .source
templates from a shared directory and adds them to the user list of
configured calendars/books/... depending what the .source defines.
There is:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.evolution-data-server autoconfig-directory
which had been added as part of
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775640
which is related to
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773156
and one other in the chain of bugs.
Even there was planned to write some documentation for this (as an
extract of the bug comments), it never happened, unfortunately. Check
for example this thread:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2019-November/msg00096.html
You may also get some hints from the source registry when you run it
with:
$ ESR_DEBUG=1 /usr/libexec/evolution-source-registry
(the actual path for the binary can differ in your distribution). The
changes in the definitions are read on the source registry start.
Bye,
Milan
