I think that side to move bonus should be related to the number of pieces which can be added quickly to the attack.

Yes, my king safety in a nutshell is count * sum(weight). so if it's our turn to play decrement count by 1 (if not already null): that was my first attempt. it failed!
Then I tried another condition: my turn to move + my king can retreat => decrement count. Also failed!

But how to measure it?

By playing lots of games at super fast time control, with a nice parralelized command line tool, like cutechess-cli. *and* to avoid hasty conclusions if the score is within the error bar (this is so tempting and so dangerous).

Is it worth coding?

The coding part is quite trivial and takes less than a minute to write, and perhaps another 2 minutes to debug in a few positions to make sure it works. Then the real pain begins: hours and hours of testing...
