My experience with Bermuda tells me your plan is great.
When I did it, I scalped and bagged, aerated, seeded, lightly watered every day for a couple weeks, and just quit worrying about it. I didn't even fertilize (your yard may be deficient in some things though).
Then just let the Bermuda take the wheel and don't let it get too tall, that's your real job once it germinates

Question thats similar to this whole process...
A friend built last year and has a halfway decent stand of natural bermuda coming up along with the usual suspects of weeds and especially clover right now. I know how to guide him to promote the bermuda growth and get rid of the weeds but he also needs some dirt work done to fill in some low spots and ensure proper overall drainage and general levelness (imagine a typical yard left after the contractor leaves). It's too much for general sand top dressing.
So for spots that need dirt added, how would he handle that? Scalp and add dirt on top? Kill everything and scalp? He'll be overseeding with more common bermuda once it's dressed like he wants.
Just looking for some guidance there, he wants to do it once and be done and get on a herbicide and fertilizer plan.

This might be of interest for several in this thread:
Maybe next season I’ll start trying PGR. Promotes horizontal growth and actually reduces the frequency that you have to mow.
Gives you that thick mat of grass like a nice fairway would have.
