>Would it be possible to have the app set the input service on android when you select it from the configurator. 

No, by Google design. If any app could arbitrarily set the input service then a bad app could set the input service to something that'd be able to spy on what you're typing. In fact, that's what every input service needs to be able to do. Google, therefore, wants the user to be in full charge of which input services he/she wishes to trust.

>Otherwise, you set brltty input service to active, and then have to go through a bunch of settings layers to get into language and input and set default input service on the phone/tablet itself. 

Exactly because of that, brltty makes it much easier to change the input service. You'll find an Accessibility button at the right end of the navigation bar (where BACK, Home, and Overview are). If you tap that button you'll go to brltty's Actions screen. The very top item on that screen is Switch Input Service.
