Yes!

It works fine, and there don't seem to be any ill effects...

Same with running OS 3.0 on 3.1 ROMs, as I did on my A1200 after I'd upgraded the Kickstart chips but couldn't be bothered to reinstall the OS!

Yeah, I think it'll work. The ancient review of 3.1 on Aminet was done with such a setup. There's a few things to be aware of, though. You might want to check it out once Aminet's webserver gets back online.

Yep, that's the one.
