Hell you could kill the invasive grasses & replace them with native plants.

Unfortunately I’ve been having an issue with losing grass and dealing with erosion.

Plant a deep root plant, turff grass that’s kept short has short roots.

There are things that kill grass. And not enough sunlight is one of them.

Too many leaves will definitely kill the grass.
Whether that’s a bad thing is a separate question.

I need something to prevent the soil from eroding when it rains.

Well plants and leaves can definitely help with this. Your state DNR may have resources on which plants are most effective for this in your area and site conditions.
Also, if you are getting a lot of runoff from upslope, you might need to investigate whether changes are needed at the source of this runoff rather than in the immediate area of erosion. If you can slow that upslope water and allow it to absorb in the soil up there, that help a lot even without changing anything lower down.

Well, my backyard is a hill.
