And that is the thing that worries me. A PC that never gets to attack first (against a figure of the same adjDX) is a lot more likely to get killed. That's a pretty big shift in things.

Why would a PC never get to attack first? The initiative roll is made every Turn. The PC would have to lose every initiative roll every Turn before that would happen - and a PC that unlucky probably is a dead duck anyway.
