You should move the wave serpents to the battalion detachment, so they get the Alaitoc trait.
Apart from that, I'm not DR spam expert, so I can't help you fine tune this.

If I do that, can I start the game on turn 1 with DReapers embarked?

Yes, there is no reason why you wouldn't. You probably remember the 7th. edition FAQ that made it impossible to start the game embarked upon an allied transport, but there is not such thing in 8th.
If you select the Alaitoc craftworld for your Ynnari Dark reapers (even if they're Ynnari you still have to choose a craftworld for them, but of course they won't benefit from the attribute), then they're Alaitoc Infantry, which makes them eligible to embark upon an Alaitoc WS.

Had a first game vs Ultramarines Guilliman parking lot

He conceded after turn 1 ( he won the initiative)

Remove a spiritseer for an Autarch for re rolls of 1 to hit. The flyers don’t add that much, you need more reapers, you can spend 1cp to deep strike in the 10 man squad to keep them safe turn 1, to free up transport space. It’s a highly a unoptimized list this. Remove the flyers for more reapers and add some hawks in.

Girlyman parking lot isn’t even a competitive list, semi competitive at a push. So it’s not a surprise he conceded turn 1, perhaps test the list vs Flyrant Spam, which has been tearing up the UK meta for a good few months now.

It’s also pointless building this list as going to get nerfed in the next few days, even though it’s not in the meta anymore.

Flyers did a great job, especially the Hemlock.

What's the point in taking Swooping Hawks?

Hawks are quick objective takers, small units are easy to hide, and in maelstrom they can come down on one objective, then sky leap to keep them safe again.

The flyers don’t add much to a reaper list, more reapers are better than flyers, just look at all the event winning lists.

Just wait until the FAQ drops. Then just play a 6th ed variant list with serpents, fire prisms, flyers, and swooping hawks.
