Does white have a (big) advantage to start this game?
If so, how do I fix that?

Elimination + atomic is an interesting concept

I like the idea of 11-check, but I don’t wanna add stronger pieces bc the point of the variant is a race for promotion

If the whole point is a promotion race, then it's (typically, depends on promotion options) a forced win for the first-moving player because they get a head-start. There needs to be some strategies to stop promotion rush in order for the game to be fair.

Do you have any advice for improvement? I'm thinking maybe the bishops get traded off too easily/quickly so maybe I can change to knights/camels?

To bring a knife to a gunfight = short-range pieces on big board. You have an entire 8x8 but only use pawns and kings.

That is a less serious fault than the converse, for to paraphrase common advice about the usage of knights (oddly specifically), “a game with a board of mostly rim is grim”.

I have never heard about this advice before, where have you heard it?
