While I appreciate your concern that promotion is inadequate, a Moebius board would be entirely out of keeping with the inspiration. Besides, postponing promotion would reverse my achievement of putting short-range pieces a step nearer promotion than in standard Shogi. On the other hand I am warming to the idea of making promotees more symmetric. Promoting the Bishop by adding a Cannon move would present a formidable threat to pieces starting from multiple ranks. If I can devise a satisfactory way to do that I will credit you with pushing me the extra distance.
