While I agree with you that, in general, mixing versions is a "Bad Thing," it 
is quite safe to mix KS 1.2, and WB 1.3.x.  In fact, the changes between
Kickstart 1.2 and 1.3 are so small, that Commodore refers to Kickstart 1.3
as Kickstart 1.2.1 in its technical documentation.

To quote from the _Native Developers Update 1.3_:

          VERSION:                                                
                                                                  
                  Kickstart version number is bumped to 34.4 .    
                                                                  
          FEATURES:                                               
                                                                  
                  V1.2.1  is an incremental kickstart release.  It
          is  designed  to  maintain V1.2 compatiblity throughout,
          while  adding  two  important  features to the operating
          system.   These  features are 1) autoboot from ROM-based
          expansion  devices and 2) a larger preferences structure
          for future expansion.
