It doesn't seem too difficult in principle to introduce these phonemes as they are effectively the fricative variants of /l/, being in the same place and close to the same manner of articulation. These also have the advantage of being more phonetically distinct than /θ/ and /ð/, which are close to /f/ and /v/.

Personally I find these two sounds difficult to pronounce. However, I know it just takes practice. But it will take practice for most everyone since this is not a native sound to most languages. There is also the problem of orthography.
I am positive about having them in the phonology, but for these reasons I think it better to support them as digraphs, /lc/ and /lj/ respectively. This will also make it easier for people learning the proper pronunciation, as they can start off pronouncing them as simple blends.
