Seems most people use 6-beat for backstroke. When is the time to kick left leg? Is it when your left hand exits the water? I find the coordinations between kicks and hands/arms are even more crucial in backstroke than in freestyle. I can only do well on left side; the right side gets chaotic :(

It's the same kick pattern as freestyle.
Obviously, if you're doing a six-beat kick, you're kicking both legs on each arm.
So I guess what I say is correct, if it's like freestyle. Yes in 6-beat you kick both. What I mean is the initial kick of the sequence. If my left hand is exiting the water, my leg goes Left(down-kicking)--Right--Left. The initial left kick is the most forceful, right (as far as I see on the videos)?
