Yes, it's safe - that's what Commodore is doing with the current A3000s.
If you boot up normally, SYS: is the WB2.0 partition and WORK: is the
general partition. If you power on the A3000 with both mouse buttons
held down, you can select "boot Workbench 1.3" from the menu. In this case,
SYS: is the WB1.3 parition, and WORK: is the general partition.
The WORK: partition is FFS and written to by both 1.3 and 2.0; Commodore
has taken special pains to make sure that files written by the 2.0 Fast
File System are readable by the 1.3 FFS.
