Workbench 3.x will run on any Amiga.
(Even a modified A1000)
3.0 and 3.1 will run fine on a 2000..
I haven't used 3.5/3.9, and they should run, but I'm not sure if they might be sluggish or not (wanting more CPU/RAM depending on your 2000 setup).  I've heard people say both...

But there's no AGA requirement for 3.x.

p.s.  This implies you have upgraded upgraded your Kickstart ROM also..
Amiga 1200 w/ ACA1230/28 - 4G CF, MAS Player, ext floppy, and 1084S.
Amiga 500 w/ 2M CHIP and 8M FAST RAM, DCTV, AEHD floppy, and 1084S.
Amiga 1000 w/ 4M FAST RAM, DUAL CF hard drives, external floppy.

I was adding my p.s. as everyone else was posting about the kickstart.  Yeah, you need a kickstart ROM.   ;-)

Workbench 3.1 requires at least 2 MB of Fast Ram to perform properly. .

I hadn't heard that before and I haven't been able to find any "requirements" listings online.
I only ever used it on my 1200..

What's your definition of "properly?"
From what I can tell, 3.1 appears to be a pretty minor change from 3.0...
