Should I plant dichondra carolinensis? x-post

I need a ground cover to replace the current grass that requires a lot of upkeep (fungus, too wet, too dry, poor clay soil despite soil amendments).

My incomplete searches leave me confused as to whether to use Carolina ponysfoot. It supposedly is native to this area even though I've never seen it.

So here are my questions:

How invasive is it?

Is it evergreen in zone 6b?

Will it tolerate full afternoon sun, depending on the season?

Will it tolerate foot traffic (dogs)?

I will amend the soil (again), but what is the upkeep?

Should I just stick with lyre-leaf sage?

Any other info would be appreciated or suggestions for alternatives.

Thanks in advance for any help.
