The maker of Millennium Chess, that uses two kings, argues that you
can give up a queen to make the other king on the board vulnerable,
because until you knock out one king, you can't lose the game.
Because there is so much firepower on the board, this is doable.
May I suggest here, that if you want help working on your design, and
playtesting it, propose it as an experimental version and have the
chess variant community help you out, and go with their suggestions.
I am trying to do this with the IAGO Chess System I have actually, for
IAGO, to integrate variants and so on, into IAGO for tournament play.
In no way do I claim to have all the answer, and no way am I go to
pontificate that I have the next chess, or as it is now is the
answer. I would expect experience of play to pan it out in the end,
with what play dictates to decide. Well, that is my take. You might
want to consider more play experience, instead of just theory on what
would or would not work.
