if our orbit around the sun was a perfect circle instead of elliptical we could ignore the orbit completely, or at least I would be willing to, and focus on the moon or just some interval of rotations - day/night cycles

Winter/Summer cycle is more about the angle of Earths rotational axis and not the distance from the sun.
