You could add the splash apron or a roll pan behind the bumper to fill in the gap.
I like your thinking, my wife and I were looking at it last night and realized the tag placement would be an issue so I mocked this up.

I took the front tag bracket from of a 2018 Nissan Maxima or Altima (forgot which it came from) and I rounded the sides to conform to the bumper and I used the center bumper bolt to secure it. Now when I raise the bumper up the tag has a home.

I think once I raise the bumper up I will not need a filler.
