Maybe the other two already happen on the first turn or two. But after that the knights will have had the ability to make their move across the board if they are interested in doing so. I'm generally against restricting the options of the knights ... if you take them out of the mix then I'm fine with the remainder of your plan.

I would also be amiable to a proposal suggesting that both sides agree not to deliberately take out a knight with a "chess move".

As long as the Knight doesn;t take pieces, I'd be fine with that.
