Default need some soil amendment advice, I think.

now we have a lot of dead rootmass from the grass. It's good for
stabilization on the slopes. As we gradually plant, we amend each large
hole very well.


Not really a good idea: you create "potholes" of heavily
amended soil and the roots tend to stay in them.

The real question is, is there a recommended top dressing or product that
would help the root mass break down faster?


Why? It's stabilizing the slore while your new plants get
their own root masses going.

As we fill in the uneven spots,
we are bringing in top quality bedding mix too.


Just leave it alone.
