Decking isn’t great for stairs. Outdoor rated tiles or paving will always outgrip it.
Composite decking…I’m suspicious of it. I thinks it’s for people who don’t understand how to treat and maintain wood or don’t want to.
That said, concrete and wood don’t really mix well if in direct contact; the concrete collects moisture and transfers it to the wood, with predictable results.

CYOA
I take it there isn't some magic composite decking which doesn't rot/mould/slip warp? Even if spendy? I want to do something and never deal with repairs again while I live here. Have been looking on youtube and building over the steps seems a possibility with some kind of stone-ish panels.
