Yeah, Idk, this seems like the sort of thing that's just complicated overkill. Perhaps it would be acceptable to just have windows appear beneath the currently focussed one or in a fixed spot where people then have to move it from? I think that people generally don't have more than 4-5 windows showing at once, so it's not really that big of a deal.
Also, with swap/focus by direction, it's pretty trivial to move windows in a given direction without having to do the complex cycling routine.
