I think this is too tedious as well. 
Actually I would much rather modify this considerably. 

1 king 1 queen 4 rooks 4 bishops 4 knights and 1 camel/knight compound. (or zebra-wazir). 
All Pawns set up on rows 3 and 8. 
Choice of King on e or f and Queen on e or f. 
2 Rook must be on a and j
Each player gets to set up rest of pieces on first 2 rows behind pawns only. 
Castling allowed. 


This version is immensely more playable --
