My goal is to have the braille display active as early is possible so
that if an error occurs during the boot process a blind person would
know about it.  I can't start before /proc, /dev, and /sys are mounted
because brltty uses things in those filesystems.  Can you think of any
possible reason that I would need to start before clock runs?  If not,
I'll just use your first suggestion.

Besides starting later than expected, will anything break if this goes
on a baselayout 1 system?

Thanks much for your help.
