I don't think the current API is good enough for that.  See
https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/802#discussioncomment-2171239

More importantly, there are multiple language server implementations for
some languages (python, c) with different quirks or non-standard
extensions to the LSP protocol.  How do you imagine a major-mode would
support these?

Authors of a major-mode even rejected to configure eglot-server-programs
in their mode saying it didn't belong to there.  (Unfortunately, I
cannot find the github discussion for this.)
