Never used workbench much on Amiga500, workbench used too much memory, the workbench disk was more of curiosity, back in Amiga 500 days it was 99% about AmigaDOS and the Kickstart. Workbench was not necessary, and something you most of the time tried to avoid workbench. Mostly I used utility disk back then, and this util disk most of the time only needed kickstart rom, and a basic AmigaDOS shell (not even all commands).
Hyperion did not released a new workbench, they only released a new Kickstart for some fixes for Amiga 600.
Workbench is the desktop environment, and secondly calling AmigaOS is as silly as calling Linux for X11.
X11 is not Linux, X11 needs Linux to run, Linux does not need X11.
In the same way Workbench need a Kickstart to run, and Workbench also needs AmigaDOS, this things can't be separated.
Running directory opus in workbench mode does not mean that it replace kickstart or AmigaDOS, Directory Opus 5 only replaced desktop system.
Amiga OS is collection of different components; workbench is just a part of it.

Amiga 500 or Amiga 600 this hardware components, Amiga 500 is not need for worknech, you can run workbench on other hardware too like Draco, that has different rom then normal Amiga models.
