Most heavy lift is transported by barge over water anyway.
Since the 2 stages of Starship aren't intended to be road mobile, due to size, there's no transportation benefit to being land-accessible.
So really the main concern is piping propellant... but afaik some rigs off the shallow coast of Texas are directly piped to land?
The main benefit you get is terrifying the FAA et al. less, as the consequences of a missed catch are now out in the ocean.
