No, it's not. One thing that you might give it a try is using a
specific loopback on both routers for the EoMPLS tunnel, announce
these new loopbacks on the IGP, and then using TE for the traffic to
those loopbacks. I was planning to test it to see if it works but
ended up in a new job before that...

Class-based tunnel-selection doesn't support AToM if I recall it well,
but you probably can use a 1:1 pseudowire:tunnel ratio to have a more
granular control.
