Its hard to visualize what a ~2.5 inch rise would look like from the deck board to step into the house, but my guess would be to make that as small as possible.
Also, the deck slopes slightly away from the house, not sure if that makes a difference in gap size or not.

Keep the decking flat on the deck. Cut a filler to use as a kick plate between the decking and door sill. The sloe of the deck is correct. That allows water to run away from the house. Should be about 1/2" to 1 foot run. What that means is it slopes down for every foot it goes out.
