You could also consider plugs. You can make your own or buy them. To make them, you can use this tool.
Then you can watch this video to see how it's done.
You might consider speeding the process along by transplanting plugs from the healthy areas of the lawn into the bare areas. You can use a plugger like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CSXJR6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NV79AbY2K30JY
Simply take a plug of dirt from the bare area and carry it to where you want to pull a healthy plug and push it out of the plugger there. Alternatively you can just put the dirt into a bucket and fill the holes when you are finished. Then pull a good plug of bermuda and carry it over to the bare area still inside the tool. Push the tool into the hole you previously made and eject your plug into it. You can put a bit of peat moss and a sprinkle of Milorganite in there beforehand if you would like. That can improve the chances of a successful transplant. Push it in gently with your foot if it isn’t perfectly level. Sprinkle a bit of milo on top. Water and cut as normal. The spots you pulled the plugs from will fill back in in no time. The closer together you set the plugs the faster they will fill the bare spots in but they really don’t have to be that close together.
I have filled in bare spots in my bermuda this way plenty of times. I would say my transplants have been successful about 90% of the time. Blends perfectly. Looks great.
This one is an example:

I'm going to use one this summer if/when my bermuda is strong, and fill in some spots.
Not sure about the shade tolerance of st Augustine, but you can make plugs out of your own grass. You can buy plug extractors.

Aeration just basically cuts small plugs into the ground to allow water and nutrients into the root area...however, living in Florida, you likely have very sandy soil which water drains through very quickly.
I think raking will do it just fine and if you want to do plugs, you can buy sheet sod and a plug cutter that will cut the dirt plug out and allow you to cut a plug for the hole from the sod sheet. Precut plugs are so much more expensive.
Something like this is needed (just an example, there are cheaper options) https://www.amazon.com/Yard-Butler-Augustine-Centipede-SP-33/dp/B000CSXJR6 will work for dirt and sod and allow for a perfect drop-in
