Is it really mutually exclusive? Do you have to choose between the two,
or could you somehow do both?

You just have to enter tty mode. Once you have done that, key presses
are delivered to the client as they arrive, either as driver-specific
keycodes, or as brltty command codes, depending on what you requested
when entering tty mode.
