What’s to be frowned upon? Aside from the fact that the runway is used somewhat regularly at nights anyway, all obstructions are taken into account in performance calculations, which are themselves based on worst case scenarios + fat.

I’d imagine it would only be used for 26R departures and 08L arrivals anyway. Westerlies is fairly straight forward, Easterlies could be a bit more difficult logistically, hence capacity won’t be increased to the level of a normal two runway airport.
