The EmbeddedSolrServer runs within the same process as a standalone Java application, it's not the sort of thing you'd add to Solr running in the usual (standalone web application) way. You can think of it as an alternative to directly using the Lucene API in a custom Java application. It's not something you would add on to and access from the standard web application.
It is possible to perform bulk updates of documents: https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/indexing-guide/indexing-with-update-handlers.html so you should be able to avoid "an HTTP call per-document" if that is your concern. It may even be easier to update your indexing process to add/modify the new fields rather than writing a custom plugin. HTH!
