I crewed on and drove an O'Day 27 with an asymmetrical kite this past season. The angles are weird and the mast head boats come roaring right down the middle. At one point I was not heading for the mark so we gibed the main and went wing on wing with no pole to get to the mark and then gibed onto a reach. We only had four people on the boat with little experience. I would say I would not go in that direction unless I was very short on crew. We normally carry 8 experienced people and sometimes race with 6.
