The advantage of grasses is their root system. Genuine resilience. An acre of prairie has more biomass than an acre of mature forest.
What grasses will work is the only “problem”. Livestock grazers in your area figured it out about a century ago. Start there.
A lawn needs boundaries. This is where homeowners fail. Fences and right angle corners make upkeep more difficult. (A lawnmower should never need to be reversed).
The house, trees, the drive and walkways, are all prime for plantings and beds that extend “into” the yard. It’s the easiest start. A few feet here and there, then contours that allow a lawn to flow around and through things is not that hard to get started on.
