Also, it's expensive, but staying in the hotel within the park gives you early and late day access to the walk to the falls. It would be a way to maximize what you can do from the Brazil side and minimize the hassles. The hotel has a tour desk if you feel the need to have them book the boat ticket for you or the concierge can help.
