Hi,

*The stud seems totally fine, it's just the joist part on the bottom.
Would a sister joist be appropriate in a situation like this, or can some
sort of epoxy be used to reinforce the area?

I'd cut out the rotted section and sister a portion. *Should not be a big
deal at all.

To add a bit he if you have dry rot it can spread, so your
contractor may want to stop that by applying a liberal dose of
Cuprinol or similar material to the critical areas. If you can't find
Cuprinol, there may be treatments at boat shops that work well too.
The sistering pieces probably should be treated wood as well. HTH
