ArcGIS Pro equivalent to Arcmap's AddInFoldersList.xml?

Hello,

In Arcmap there exists an XML file called "AddInFoldersList.xml" which is located at Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.8 and stores the locations of folders that contain Add-Ins.   Does this exist in Pro?  We have all our custom add-ins sitting out on a server for our users and they all have the Add-In folders specified in the AddInFoldersList.xml file.  Depending on where our user is sitting on any given day (home vs office) that drive letter may need to be changed -- If they are in the office it resides on their v:\ but when working from home they may be accessing one located on the d:\.  We have written a tool that will update the AddInFoldersList.xml file to make the drive letter change for them (it does lots of other stuff too but we will focus just on the AddIns).

I know that Add-In folders that are specified in Pro (in Add-In Manager) get stored out in the registry at:  Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Settings\Add-In Folders.  I'd rather avoid having my tool messing with the registry so was hoping there was an AddInFoldersList.xml equivalent in Pro. 

Thanks!
