Confirming that Kevin's answer above also works via iCloud Drive sync in High Sierra.

I did the following:

  1. Create a folder called "Sync" directly in iCloud Drive (as a sibling to Documents)
  2. Create another folder called iTerm2 within Sync (presumably I will do this with other apps, hence the folder structure)
  3. Point iTerm2 there via its Preferences. It will ask you if you want to place a current copy of the plist file there.
  4. Repeat step #3 on all other systems where you want to use iTerm2

Note that there can be some latency with iCloud Drive sync, but it does work.
