Starting pond plants from seeds is slow, low percentage success of colonization at best. If you want rapid growth use transplants. Try it both ways are report back as to your success and advice for others. Stabilizing very steep banks is difficult. You may need to add rock, cobbles and/or broken concrete to the down wind areas that are the steepest and receive the most wind, wave action; similar to what they do at steep sided reservoirs. It is best to do this when the banks are not underwater.
