My config to restore Force input source is:

BetterTouchTool(BTT) with triggers for shift down -> shift up sequence to prevent any shift + letter misuse. -> remap to {"⌘", "⌥", "⌃"} + [ and ] accordingly.
Hammerspoon to force keyboard input source:

local hyper_super = {"⌘", "⌥", "⌃"}
hs.hotkey.bind(hyper_super, "[", function()
    hs.keycodes.setLayout("Russian - PC")
end)
hs.hotkey.bind(hyper_super, "]", function()
    hs.keycodes.setLayout("Australian")
end)

Works smooth.

I think overlaid modifiers aren't implemented yet. ;)

not sure why would I need to shift down -> shift up sequence to prevent any shift + letter misuse
otherwise works perfectly.

UPD: in betterTouch it is important to set "required" checkbox for "Cmd-Up" key (which clear by default)
