What makes you think it would not be compatible with "classic amigaos binaries".
At least with system friendly ones it should.
Just like on MOS or OS4.
For software/games that need direkt access to the hardware, some other emulation layer is needed of course.
This could be some UAE-version or Matt's bare metal emulation
System calls from the 68k-side could be handled by its counterparts on the ARM-side and/or by a set of (duplicate/fake) 68k libraries.

But is AROS compiled for m68k ABI-compatible with classic amiga binaries?

Yes - that is the whole point of AROS 68k. And it works mostly.
You can test "AROS Vision" on UAE.

How would AROS talk to its RasPi drivers in this case?

via libs/handlers?
but a good question.
