There are loads of variants of chess like this. There’s a similar variant to this called Horde chess where white has no pieces but 36 pawns instead, and black has a normal setup. But there are some quite fun/whacky variants on e.g. www.chess.com/variants.
I think that amount of pawns is pretty much what you need to make it winnable. Maybe a few less if you take black’s pawns away. Pretty sure this one, as presented, is unwinnable, which… kind of undermines the point they’re trying to make.

Horde Chess is also avaiable at Lichess.org, a big non-profit and open source alternative to Chess.com.
