Hello! 3 colors isn't so bad. Everything is red but is splashed white and green. Basically if you get a fast land (Copperline Gorge or Inspiring Vantage you have your splash color for the game. Otherwise you need to play a flip land on not red. Sometimes awkward but very much worth it for the amount of damage those splash cards do!
Being an aggro deck I never find I have much mana leftover to be able to activate Roiling Vortex. It's a very good card for sure but with the amount of 1 drop spells I have I am almost always better off casting something to damage them more I found. Although there are times where they may gain more life than my 1 mana spell could deal and that would make it worth it I still do have Atarka's Command for the no life gain effect. It's usually cast to buff creatures and deal damage which in of itself deals a TON of damage making the life they may gain not really worth it.
Usually you can go quicker than the control builds or Atraxa so going 2nd isn't always bad. Once they do gain the life I do admit there isn't much of a way to win after that. Angels is an uphill battle for sure.
Squee isn't much for them not having a blocker but just to have something to stay alive or cast in a later game against removal heavy builds. I tried but I can squeeze Ramunap Ruins in because of 3 colors. I did put in 2 Den of the Bugbear and 1 Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance. The man land I've used more and is amazing, it's basically a Squee. I've used the channel land much less.

BOLD BRAVE decklist!.... 3 colors in pioneer is so so so rough for fast decks in particular... Because of my own personal struggle that why I have shifted to just Mono and embracing the RDW shells... as long as you can stay fast/consistent then more power to you!
I really think Roiling Vortex is almost worth being a mainboard card... besides going 2nd in the mirror match it always feels good and there are so many control builds I run into that end on resolving something like Atraxa, Grand Unifier and just taking the damage is almost a non issue but if they gain 7 life just there isn't a way to win.
Squee, Dubious Monarch is an interesting thought... but I think banking on the opponent not having a blocker in the late game just isnt worth the investment and something like Ramunap Ruins would be better served for just a little more desperate reach.

The best thing to do is probably to lower the curve a bit:
Kumano Faces Kakkazan Flip is a cheap card that works wonders for the strategy
Play with Fire is a better Shock, and Lightning Strike is a better Roil Eruption
Monastery Swiftspear is probably one of the best red 1-drops ever, and pretty cheap with the BRO reprint. Soul-Scar Mage is pretty similar, no haste, but a chance to progressively kill problematic creatures or mess up combat math with the -1/-1 counters is great.
Den of the Bugbear and Ramunap Ruins can be considered to have some utility in your lands without giving up any colored sources.
Eidolon of the Great Revel is the most expensive card that mono red plays in pioneer right now, that might be a step too far if you're worrying about the budget. But that's probably where you'd want to end up being serious about the deck. In the meantime you could consider cards like Khenra Spellspear Flip, Kari Zev, Skyship Raider or Bloodfeather Phoenix to make sure chapter 2 of Kumano Faces Kakkazan Flip goes to use.
You could look up some lists on MTGGoldfish or MTGTop8 to see what's generally played in the mono red decks, and work your way there bit by bit. I think my suggestions should give you plenty inspiration to get started though.

Hey, are you still actively playing the deck ?
I picked it up 2 weeks ago and I'm myself not sure about the exact decklist. Do you mind giving me some input ?
Current decklist here with some links to youtube videos and a reddit thread.
I run more burn in the form of Shrapnel Blast and I also run Ramunap Ruins because it enters untapped.

Unfortunately Shivan Gorge isn't legal in Modern... if you really want a land that does damage, you might prefer something like Keldon Megaliths or Ramunap Ruins in its place.
I'd also recommend Seething Song over Vessel of Volatility! You get more mana out of it for less of a total investment. They both result in the same net gain if you space out using the Vessel, but if you want to use it the same turn you draw it, it's no good. Either way, the Song is just as good for speeding you into a turn-three Demigod!
Speaking of which, Avatar of Discord is fun, but you might like to find room for Faithless Looting as another way to stock a Demigod or two into your graveyard. It might be preferable to Inside Out, which I'm not really sure what the intended use for is... most of your creatures have less power than toughness!

Oh and all deserts you can play:
Which is 16 total, plus I guess Vesuva can count as well.
