Think they'll view having to have earth-gravity legs on a Starship as a failure. Moon (1/6th g) and Mars (shade over 1/3rd g) won't need something so beefy to support the static weight and will almost certainly be "Specials" for that role with breaking thrusters towards the nose according to some models I've seen.
Good point about the width, but it's a smaller vehicle with less inertia so I'd imagine that they'll be able to make it work - Can't believe they've not considered that. Could always bring it in 90 degrees off axis with pins at the 12/6 instead of 3/9, I guess.
