Shortest Paved Runway?

Looking for experienced opinions about the minimum runway length needed.

With the understanding that there is no single answer (e.g., density altitude), please consider the question worded a bit differently:  Will a 2500’ paved runway @ 814’ MSL be long enough during the Summer (95 F, 95% Relative Humidity)?

At rear CG and lightweight, yes. At forward CG and/or MGW, nope. Still no single answer, because there are a lot of variables. Define them all, and then you get a single answer.
