Of course you can install Suse with both the text-based and the
graphical installer. Moreover, SBL is able to handle text mode YaST much
better than Brltty would, because SBL is able to track attribute
cursors, which Brltty can't do. And yes, SBL supports USB braille
displays as well. So why replace a console screenreader with a lot of
important and useful features with another screenreader which lacks some
of them? (automatically loading application profiles, soft-cursor
tracking and better speech output support, just to name a few.)

USB/serial converter do exist and SBL can handle USB connected braille
displays too.
