The Bluetooth codecs are all designed to be very cheap on CPU and low latency - e.g. LC3, AptX or SBC.

I'm skeptical, those are almost always going to be implemented in hardware, so the complexity of a software encoder isn't a design concern.

There is some correlation between the cost of a hardware implementation and complexity of a software implementation. SBC is a very simple codec, but AptX and LC3 might not be much better than Opus.
