and that means cutting the tiled area of engineered flooring out, installing a rigid subfloor (if it's not) and retiling the area.

The tile was a good idea if you live in a place that has rain and snow and the damage to the flooring probably predates the installation and was the reason for it. They were just dumb in installing it over a floating engineered wood floor.

You can generally match the color of flooring fairly closely so the tile isn't an eyesore. Saltillo tile goes particularly well with wood.

YMMV, of course. However, replacing the damaged flooring will look better than a metal threshold would. Since you own the place, it's better to treat yourself to a job done right.
