Setting shrubs into a hillside

There's soil retention grass holding our steep hillside in place. The area is so large that trying to remove or prevent grass infiltration in plantings would be very difficult. Is there a problem with setting 3 gal size shrubs into the slope surrounded by grass (probably perennial rye)? I've researched some spreading shrubs that might work to hold the soil and take up space but dread having to try to remove the grass. It always comes back from underground rhizomes anyway, even when cleared away several feet when I've tried to plant on flatter areas...
