That sounds like it could be fun! The multiple turn delay I used for this may help solve some of the problems of the pieces dying immediately at the start, and for the end game where too many deaths would cause the game to drag on. Births could probably have a smaller delay than deaths. I could see this make for interesting plays by opening holes in your opponent. There's also the choice of whether births/deaths take into account all neighbours or just your own pieces.
