Easy defense against the Eye

I was more speculating on that caliber of circle as a defense... if fully-functional & fully-empowered, could it have fended off the Eye of Balor?
I'm inclined to think it could.
As you note, it's not something to "throw together" (particularly not on a chaotic battlefield!).
But -- hypothetically-speaking -- might someone have constructed something like that as a "hardpoint" defense, before the battle?
Just a thought-exercise... OP asked if a circle could withstand the Eye; consensus is "no" for the "easy defense" circle, but I wonder if a potent-enough Circle might have.

Really-major circles might work -- the one for MacFinn was supposed to be able to handle hugely-powerful beings (honestly -- from Harry's description -- much more-powerful than a mere Loup Garou! (*)). The ones the Denarians cast, to capture & hold Ivy.
(*) Come to think of it, that Circle was really weirdly over-powered. Who'd use demigod-binding magic for a werewolf!!?!

They got the specs for Demonreach max security - that's the circle they use for the heavy hitters like Ethniu....

It’s not just a question of power.

I thought we had WOJ there was a set of Mothers for each universe - but ONE Uriel

"They" don't got anything of the sort. Maybe Odin does.
But, as you recall, Demonreach is sitting atop a major leyline confluence, and it was "simultaneously" constructed in 5 different times all at once.
Pretty sure Ethniu is gonna spot that happening (and trivially avoid it).
The question is more: of the circles that might reasonably have been constructed, what might have been useful?
Conspiracy Theorist:
This makes me wonder about the containment process at Demonreach, not a circle, are the crystals in fact one way pocket universes? Once in you can’t get out, that would make the Warden effectively the White God in relation to the inmates.
