Is there any reason that I can’t seed in April and get it established by June to see how it handles the heat this summer? I wouldn’t need more than 15 lbs so it’s not a huge commitment.

I mean you can, but your chance of success is basically nil. The seeds will germinate and you'll see growth, but the seedlings will get torched by the time late may comes as they won't have established roots.
If you were to seed for spring time, the time to do it would've been February. In general it takes 2-3 weeks for kbg seeds to germinate and then they'll go through a sprout and pout phase where it seems they aren't doing anything for a few more weeks and then the vertical growth begins. In that way its not as satisfying as when you do prg in the winter as it grows so quickly. You are just going to get more success if you prep and plan for seeding in late Sept, early October.
Personally, I would look into more and even read the cool season guides on establishing a kbg lawn and see if it's something you want to commit to.
I would focus on pushing your bermuda growth after praying out prg and see what areas are struggling if any. A lot of people are happy just doing prg overseeds every fall. I did the kbg in my backyard as it's fairly shady and the bermuda would look shitty all year round in many of the backyard spots.
