Any plane has plenty of thrust to overcome the additional drag on the wheel bearings. Remember the air drag is still the same, say 350kmh takeoff speed.
The wheels may be doing equivalent of 700kmh, but thats a tiny factor (its not like the planes takeoff speed has been changed to 700kmh relative to the air), so air drag is unchanged compared to non-conveyer-equipped runways.
