The only way I can see this being a problem is if, when performing the base turn, you move the heading bug immediately 200 degree onto the inbound track and ignore the needles.
Basic IR training was to watch the needle throughout the turn, enabling you to judge your location relative to the inbound track and adjust the turn as necessary. Surely exactly the same airmanship skills should ensure a strong wind isn't a problem. Unless you forget about the wind of course
