This is certainly not a valid BRIN operator class definition.
There are four required support functions, not just one, and
I seriously doubt that any of them can usefully be written in
plpgsql. (You also got the set of operators wrong, but that's
not the issue here.) See

/docs/current/brin-extensibility.html

And yes, invalid operator class definitions can crash the system.
That's why you can't create one unless you're superuser.
