I like the ideas here quite a lot, although I'd make one change and toss a suggestion out too.

Variants tend to best when varied from traditional chess (IMO). Here I'd opt to change the knights to camels for a bit more reach on a 10x10 board. (Maybe even a camel/king combo idea).

The suggestion -- if you are adding the cannon -- sort of sister to the rook -- why not the Vao as a sister to the bishop. It would create some added symmetry to the game.

Just a cpl of thoughts :)
