1. one busy airfield on one frequency: no problem. 2. three busy airfields on one frequency: big problem. 3. multiple airfields on multicom: even bigger problem.
Being in RAPAC, I have had an ultralight instructor (formerly a glider pilot) has tried teaching 500 foot circuits in an ultralight in situation 3 above saying that it was physically impossible to do all the calls in time. As a gliding instructor with ab initio students on a 1000 foot circuit with only PTT's on the joystick, it is exceedingly difficult to instruct and do the calls with out taking over the joystick and we are in situation 2.
