  },
  marks: [Plot.graticule(), Plot.sphere()]
})

should be available as

Plot.plot({

Research direction

Start at the Plot.plot projection configuration and trace how the "equal-earth" type is created. Compare it with the d3.geoEqualEarth().angle(11) example in the issue, then verify that the declarative angle option produces the same rotated projection with the graticule and sphere marks.
