Doesn't that give up a lot of the benefits of having a roundabout at all, as opposed to having a regular signal-controlled intersection?

If congestion occurs only at "peak" time(s) (e.g., rush hour(s)) then that's when you are stop/go with signals, whereas the rest of the time the signals are set to the 'traditional' roundabout way (perhaps flashing yellow?), then it could still mean that for (say) 20 hours of the day you still have the benefits (plus also during weekends). And even during peak time(s) you probably get reduced collision rates and collision intensities.
