Just need to know whether it would be fine to connect 360 Rotation Servos in place of brushless motors and ESCs on a Flight controller

That would very likely depend on whether the flight controller's firmware is able to support servos and you know how to configure them. BetaFlight has a tab for servos but I have never made use of it.
 
I could simply just try the 360 servos on the flight controller. I don't have this data from any flight controller as to what signal is actually sent out from the flight controller to the ESC which in turn controls the brushless motor. Actually I am using a flight controller in a submarine project with 6 motors. I could go through the normal route, ie use 6 brushless motors(without the propellers) together with the 6 x ESCs plugged into the flight controller. But the issue I have here is that the brushless motors rotation speed is far beyond my requirements. I need the speed to be drastically reduced to around 40RPM - 60 RPM. I could add small gearboxes onto these brushless motors, but that would require much more work and space. Thus I was thinking of using 360 Servos as an alternative to the brushless motors and gearboxes. And I could also do away with ESCs. Does anyone have this data ( the signal out from the flight controller.)? I dont think we need the flight controller to "know" that the motor is a servo. It should still think that it is an ESC with a brushless motor.
