Hi, there are several obvious issues with the position you've shared. Although it's cathartic to fill the board with 62 queens what does the gameplay accomplish that having 2 or 4 does not? Since trades are forced, white has an obvious initiative. Losing 1 queen is nearly equivalent to losing the game. White will trade in the centre of the board hoping to weaken blacks king. Quickly all of the pieces will be drawn there as they are traded. Draws are also likely if not inevitable, as the final queens on the board perpetual the kings.
With regards to the second position, it resembles the standard chess position too closely.Play is slowed down considerably, which I wouldn't expect to be a perk. Draws are also extremily likely with such a locked position.

Probably make it n-check.
