I'm not talking about Amiga OS, I'm talking about Amiga PDOS. For what reason can I not keep interrupts disabled on Amiga PDOS?

Also, even if I do enable interrupts, how many different interrupts will the hardware generate? Is it just the timer interrupt? And I would actually expect that to have a default handler in the new BIOS. Right? I don't think the BIOS can have a requirement for the operating system to take ownership of interrupts by a particular point.
