Talking mostly about the military of both civs
Chams would also be an elephant and scorpion civ
That would be cool, a Huskarl basically on horseback
Nope, it would actually be more similar to a ranged Leitis. The Jurchens were known to have used short ranged but very powerful bows with a deep penetration.

Changes:
-Elephants are trained X% faster per age.
Silver cannons (Imperial age): Cannon galleons and bombard cannons have their minimum range improved to a value of 2, ignore X% of armor (pseudo pure damage), and move X% faster.
Why not just remove the minimum range completely?
I’m not sure about how the blast mechanics work but I think they would hurt themselves from the blast damage.
They dont have blast damage like a mangonel.
Basically crossbows?
BBC does. A 0.5 tiles radius. CG and ECG don’t.
Not really, it’s a heavily armored cavalry archer which shoots out arrows that ignore enemy pierce armor.
Another unit ignoring armor? A bit unoriginal.
And the weakness of such a unit is?

Range, only 3 base range compared to 4 on regular cavalry archers
Okay so rhey still have 6 range fully upgraded and ignore pierce armor so not even skirms are good against them.
They can kite pikes and other melee units too.

Well, there’re many ways to balance this, either make their base attack lower, make them rather expensive to train, or make their speed slower than other cavalry archers (1.3 instead of 1.4)
