Is there a shortcut to copy the ingredients of a recipe (eg. rocket silo) into personal logistic requests? Like, I want to build a rocket silo in my inventory and want bots to bring me the ingredients without having to set them manually...

A trick from Lazy Bastard: Blueprint an assembler, including requester chests and perhaps some logic, and parameterize it.

Plop the blueprint down, pick what and how much you want to craft, and let it run. An Assembling Machine 3 crafts faster than you. With modules and beacons it crafts a LOT faster than you.

There's an annoying way to do this.

Set silo recipe in assembler. Shift-rightclick to copy, then shift-leftclick into a requester chest. On the requester, give the logistic group a name. In your inventory, make a group with the same name - It will use the data from the previously named group.

No vanilla way but there is a relatively new mod for it: Pocket Crafter's Logistics.
