Using your word “Likely”... I’d venture to say the odds are usually the -200 is NOT limited. But there are exceptions that are not uncommon.
Depends on the destination/alternates needed.
Depends on the fuel load.
Depends on the amount of freight.
And a big factor is, depends on the company flying the plane, and the efficiency of their W&B system
I’ve been load limited on a leg, then the next week flying the same leg I was not.
