What about letting a Pawn promote to Amazon? Would the games become way too promotion-centric?
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Usually promotions are to any non-pawn non-king piece that is already on the board, so that would be a little bit too esoteric and contrary to what is expected in the playing of a chess-like game.
