I look at the 70-200 f2.8 wide open at 200, the 135 f2 wide open, and the 85 f1.2 wide open as similar enough that any would be fine to use.

Fine to use for sure, still there will be quite obvious differences in the amount of blur. Both 135/2 and 85/1.2 will have blurrier background than 200mm @ f/2.8 while the difference between 135/2 and 85/1.2 will not be that big as between them ans 200mm.
