If you just fill in the wall void, the butt joints will all line up and stick out like a sore thumb. Everything considered including the amount of prep time involved yet, the wall trench problem, and the elevation difference; at this point I time I would urge you to consider tearing out the Fir and installing ¼" thick click together LVT flooring over the 45° subfloor. A nice, clean, maintenance free, water proof forever floor that will save you a ton of time and labor. It will also look more uniform and actually correct in your kitchen. The kitchen floor would then be pretty much level with the rest of the house. It's available in any species and level of rustic look. Gray, brown or combination.
