Can a chess expert tell us which side would be favored in this situation? Assuming checkmate for the black side would be checkmating the knight that starts on black’s king square.

The only victory against the Mongolian horde is absolute destruction, lest they regroup and charge once more.
Black to win, unless white can form a Great Wall defense, and then it's a stalemate.

I can't see the Mongolians losing, you can't take any of their pieces without losing your own.
To make it fairer, I'd say they should only be allowed two rows, but my money is still on them
-
Not an expert, but I can easily see a scenario where each knight moves only if it's backed by several knights (which is in turn back by several others).
They have ultimate mutually assured defense, plus chaos offence (teleport into the enemy).
White is cooked
Edit: Even one row fewer knights would still be an unbeatable defense.
Edit2: A single row only of knights would actually be an interesting game. I think it might be close.

Depends with how much force you throw your pawns into the enemy formation

Kamikaze pushes everything off the board

Don't forget that many if not all of those riders are also ranged attackers.
