I give it a week before someone makes a playable version

Seems like the strategy should be to open up a diagonal with the original queen and just launch as many queens as quickly as possible into the field

No the best move is always for the queen's to look at the number of their space and then to double that number and move to the corresponding position. This way you can fill the board with another infinite queens.
