I would do none of those options.
I would take a router and cut out to the bottom of the lowest depth, say
1/2". Then cleanup the edges square with a chisel.

Then I would get a piece of wood to replace this section, (consider a
hardwood replacement which will stand up to time) .. same size, epoxy it


What he said.

But, I'd consider adhesive caulk instead of epoxy. You don't need
hardness
in the glue, you don't need high strength, you just need it to weather
well.
And the caulk will fill gaps around your patch if you don't get a
perfect precision fit...

I'm leaning towards doing it this way using some white oak.

I'm not sure what you mean by adhesive caulk. Woud a good construction
adhesive work or are you referring to something else? If something
else, can you suggest some trade names so I can try to get some.

Thanks
