I'm not sure about compatibility lists but from what I understand, it's only a handful of early and badly behaved software that requires 1.3. It's probably better to just install 3.1 and use Relokick as needed to run incompatible software.
Does 3.1 have elevated system requirements?
I'm not actually sure what the minimum requirements are for 3.1, except I know that 3.1 upgrades were sold for the A500/A2000 so it should work on a classic configuration. I know that the newer Hyperion updates to AmigaOS raise the requirements quite a lot, so I wouldn't try going to 3.1.4+ without an accelerator/fastram.
@SanguineBrah @edgerunneralexis ISTR 3.1 was a bit more intensive than 3.0 according to Amiga mags I read. I think 3.0/1 might need 1mb chip min whereas 2.0 can run in less.
