Take off is easy. But unless it is a large circle, which would require more land and asphalt than a normal airport with runways 36/18 and 09/27 and say 31/13 your takeoff speed would be higher than normal creating more wear and tear on the gear.
As I mentioned above, there are a multitude of issues for landing.
Wouldn't it be easier to do a train style roundhouse to turn the runways where you need it? That would move all the electrical equipment with it.
Or, simpler yet, stick with a few runways that are pointed to the prevailing winds. Oh wait, we do that now.
