Definitely a non-trivial project, but I think probably within the realm of possibility. I think the key would be to replace “as the crow flies” distance with walking distance, taking into account where walking actually works and adding a penalty for road crossings. So a circle of constant distance becomes a shape of constant walking time, which especially for small times will be distinctly non-circular.

Definitely possible.

Bike Ottawa did amazing things with their bike maps, that would align with this.
