SBRJ

This is the airport diagram for Rio de Janeiro's domestic airport SBRJ. (Santos Dumont Airport). They recently added RNP AR approaches. The runway length is what grabbed my attention. Seems like the airport has lots of operations; perhaps mostly regional jets but also some 737 operations. There is a photo on the Internet of a 737-800 just after takeoff. My question to those who fly 737-800s: how practical are runways of this length to meet balanced runway requirements and carry any payload and have a practical range?
