Dogs can wreak havoc on a yard for sure and I know how frustrating it can be when you're trying to have nice people stuff there too. But obviously we love our dogs and I'd choose dog over nice yard any day!
Sounds like you found some great options to work for you and thanks for coming back to share what worked. My suggestion was exactly what you found out -- make an area for them to be nutty, do their stuff, and help them to figure out that's their spot. Great job!
This is a good article but not sure if you it will work with your dogs but you can try. https://www.k9ofmine.com/best-grass-for-dogs/
I would carve out an area specifically for the dogs if possible, using something that is easy on their paws and can handle the messes they make. Then landscape the rest of the yard as you please. How you enclose the area or direct the dogs there is up to you, but perhaps an invisible fence area might help.

The dogs would cause less destruction and be happier if they had more to do. Some people make a fenced in run for them which has rounded river rock instead of grass for them to walk on. But if you are just looking for something to keep them busy what about toys or bones. But my frenchies prefer empty water bottles (think it could be the noise they make when the pups chew on them). Just remember to remove all plastic around the mouth of the bottle and any plastic stips that they could chew off and shallow.
Astroturf is tough and sounds thast the true resolution to your problem. Go for it!
Why bother at the moment, Let the dogs have their way! When the old man is gone, then might be the time to make a change! In the meantime start saving!
