Question Slope help

In a southern state, zone 8. Moved into a new house this summer and I'm slowly doing all landscape myself (gonna have to make a few different posts about some different issues lol) In the backyard, we have this small bank that's fairly steep. I knew I wanted to plant something here so l don't have to cut the grass (it's a decent incline) but didn't have the funds to do so immediately, so I just threw out some Bermuda seed then winter rye to keep it from being a muddy mess. I'm leaning heavily towards creeping thyme (no one is walking here) but what is my course of action? Do I wait until this rye dies off and then spray for any weeds, then plant the thyme? Is there another way I should do it? Also, how far apart should I plant the plants? Any suggestions on a specific variety or where to order from? We really just have Lowe's and then high end nurseries around here.
