We only can think of 2 options:
1) Pay Stellar ($1,000 to dig up the St Augustine and put down Zoysia sod. Stellar rep said it's a 40% chance the St Augustine will come back.
2) Let the St Augustine take over the yard, but then it is going to run into the neighbors adorning yard which are all Zoysia, and I doubt they would be happy with that.

Can anyone give me another option or make a suggestion?

I don't think there is an answer to your problem with St. Augustine. Since you don't know where it came from and because it's so advanced, it's a difficult problem to solve.

If you have it all taken out, think again. All you need is one unseen runner under the dirt and you are back in the same predicament. It will start to spread once again. If it's taken over 1/3 of your yard already, you've had it a while.

Many of the older properties have St. Augustine. The good thing about it is that you will have green grass all year long, and no ugly brown in the winter.
