How much of a pain in the ass would it be to have one or two engines and swap onto a generator, air compressor, water pump, winch, etc?

doable but if you have to ask...
1st logistical assache to consider would be the motor base mount

I definitely don't know how to do it yet, but I'm trying to figure out if it's worth spending the money and time to learn how. Like if it's simply a matter of fitting different shit to a drive shaft and can be done in less than 30 minutes... probably worth it. If it's requires almost rebuilding the thing? Probably not.

Just working with limited space and funds.

If you had everything running off of pulleys and belts it would be fairly simple. You'd have to make sure the pulley on each piece of equipment had the correct ratio compared to the pulley on the motor. You'd also have to build the correct mount on each piece of equipment to properly align the motor. You could also use a step pulley on the motor to make it easier to find the correct ratios needed for each piece of equipment. After that it would just be a matter of pulling the belt off, moving the motor, bolting it down, and fitting the belt again.

That said, pulleys can get pricey and fabbing the correct mount can be a pain in the ass.
