Ten Pawns on the third rank and fourteen other pieces was popular in the 10-Chess Variant Contest. I placed the 8 traditional pieces on the second rank and the remaining 6 on the first rank in TenCubed Chess. Greg Strong's Opulent Chess has Lions, with a dangerous 3-leaper move. So he gave his valuable K, Q, C, A pieces escape room on the first rank. Your 'multivariant' requires a fixed pattern of pieces, of course.
Truth is, most of us are lazy when it comes to examining someone else's work. Readers would pay more attention if you posted four sample variants, with some of your favorite pieces. You could use a 2x2 block of Courier Chess Preset diagrams (with GIFs reduced to 70 percent - like Greg did, I think).
