Here is what I am seeing. I can select Samsung keyboard and gboard, but it appears that Heliboard is not on an approved list.
I’m not in an influential position in my company, but I was directed to someone to discuss it. My guess is that there may have been a compromise using a keyboard app in the past and this is their mitigation.

Oooh, ok, that looks like a policy setting your employer has. Looks like you might have to get them to make an exception. It works fine on my Pixel 8 and where I work but they may not have the inputs locked down.
There might be another way around it but if it's a company issued device, it's not worth getting in trouble over.

Well, it’s my phone, so I feel I ought to be using whatever keyboards I want. My guess is my org isn’t differentiating between company assets and employee property.

So, the Teams instance you're connecting to and all of the data therein is company property: Their IT/security team or teams are still obligated to protect that data and allowing the use of any and every app could potentially cause problems or exfil proprietary company data.
Whether the phone is owned by you or them is irrelevant, the data is still compromised either way, so I doubt they enacted that policy by mistake.
