'major-mode-remap-alist' should be able to handle this requirement
since its design is similar to MIME.TYPES and MAILCAP.  But actually
MAILCAP supports an additional predicate TEST that is a command
executed to determine whether or not the mailcap line applies.

So to completely cover all needs, 'major-mode-remap-alist' should
support a predicate as well.  For example,

(setq major-mode-remap-alist '((c-mode #'treesit-available-p c-ts-mode)))

or a more complex predicate:

(setq major-mode-remap-alist '((c-mode (lambda ()
                                         (and (treesit-available-p)
                                              (treesit-ready-p 'c t)))
                                c-ts-mode)))
