I don’t like sod and yet I’ve tried different types and all failed. It gets a pretty extreme mix of full sun in some spots, part sun in others and full shade (particularly on the left). I thought about ground cover but don’t know what could handle this. Or some native shade turf (but based on my experience with other grasses not convinced it will do much better)? Or do I just cover it with gravel and make it a seating area?

Straggler daisy, Calyptocarpus vialis, is low lying and does well in shaded spots. Try different native grasses in the sunny spots and see which do best. Bouteloua curtipendula and Aristata purpurea will survive the summers with minimal water
I have some Straggler Daisy in areas and I love it. Easy to mow and soft to walk on. I have bare spots and I am hoping it will spread there and just fill in where the grass won’t grow.
Native wildflowers that are shade tolerant.
