AMSLaTeX *is* LaTeX 2.09 + NFSS. Or rather amslatex is a suite of
style options which work with such a format.

Clearly if a document uses some commands which are defined in a
document style or style option, then it will not work without some
modification if you choose not to use that style option. However this
applies to any latex style that defines commands rather than just
altering the formatting.  To say an `amslatex' file is not a `latex'
file is the same as saying that a file calling on, say, `fancyheadings'
is not latex.
