We had somewhat of the same problem. We decided just to put siding inside and out on that section. Besides it gave us a little privacy from the neighbors. Sorry my pictures aren’t very good, but it might give you some idea.

Give us a call.... using short pieces and random length material can go a long way to dropping the overall cost per sq/ft. Frankly I don't think you're going to be happy in the long run. The ipe will look amazing and the PT, no matter what you do to it, is going to look awful in short order. not so much because of the color, but because the pt degrades so quickly. What about going with Cumaru or Garapa or Massaranduba as alternative species for the whole thing? or some combination of the above? 1-2 coats of Messmer's uv+ on cumaru or massaranduba will get you pretty close to one coat on Ipe. To answer your question directly..... every contractor has an opinion. Staining PT a flat semi-solid Cabot or a Ready Seal will be fine. Don't need to overthink it. Install your ipe, oil it, see what color you're working with then try a couple products to see how it matches up before committing to the whole deck Garapa which is close to PT color Massaranduba oiled with Messmer's UV+ Cumaru unoiled
