You can directly get a huge openings advantage. obviously 2 queens against 1 queen is a simple win and exactly that is what you can achieve there. Now the problem is that the branching factor gets quite huge after a few moves as queen moves are there plenty, so you can't give 'scientific' proof that you win easily. But a queen versus a rook already in evaluation up after a few ply of search in the start position? that's clearly a game which is won by white yeah.
