First strike, Alpha strike can be devastating. The night fight rule is designed to fix this.

In my opinion, a more natural fix would be to consider initial deployment to have taken some movement to achieve.

These armies didn't camp over night in their current positions. They moved into position, and thus should count as having moved during their first turn.

I think this would help.

Yes but they get there and set up an emplacement with good deployment. They have already been there a while setting off.

And how many armies would this help? Eldar and dark eldar (and white scars and ravenwing but they get scout moves so they will begin the first turn having moved anyway). For any army not reliant on jink saves it wouldn't matter at all, and god forbid that wave serpents need any further bonuses to their unkillability.
