Hey there Obi-wan....  you''ll either need a scandoubler / flickerfixer

Indivision AGA MK3 for A1200 - https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/Flickerfixer_Scandoubler.html?flifi_type=A1200%2FA4000T

ScanPlus AGA for Amiga 1200 - https://amigastore.eu/en/703-scanplus-aga-amiga-1200-and-4000d.html

https://www.amedia-computer.com/en/accueil/272-scanplus-aga-for-amiga-1200-4000d.html

or an Amiga RGB to VGA Monitor Adapter - https://amigastore.eu/en/207-amiga-rgb-to-vga-monitor-adapter-modified.html

This route is cheap but keep this in mind: If you connect it to a standard VGA/SVGA monitor, which does not accept 15Khz frequencies, you will be able to display the 31Khz Amiga specifics VGA modes only through the Workbench drivers. Native graphics modes, used by most games, will not be displayed.

That's about it really. I use the unbuffered adapter with an A500 and a 15kHz monitor (the one above says it works with 31kHz also) - it works OK-ish with workbench and it's cheap. Not sure if AmigaKit has anything cooked up.
