Old A2000 floppy drives die easily?

 I have had My A2000 for almost 16 years and the floppy still works fine. I would say they are very robust, however they will eventually need to be replaced. As said above good deals can be found on Ebay but also AmigaKit sells new drives that I think will work with older Amigas.  :-)

Yes, but they do not have the same height. There will be a little gap over the drive. But it works :-)
