For the system requirements, please check the
server sizing guide available from ASP.
8.2.11.2 is indeed the latest version at this moment (November 2020) and should be the best for new deployments. I would not say there is an older version to run that requires significant fewer resources. The 8.2.0.0 was released in 2016 already, and performance on newer versions should be comparable or better.
In that same document, there is information about running Airwave in a virtualization environment, and yes it is supported for production and I even would think that many customers are running Airwave virtualized if they don't have the hardware appliance. Just make sure that you have the proper amount of resources applied, especially disk i/o and memory, but also CPU. And make sure that there are no other virtual machines on the same platform that are taking away the resources.

For Airwave, I typically take the latest version available at deployment time as you will have coverage for the latest firmware on your devices (switches, controllers, APs). I would not see a reason to deploy an older version. If you find an issue, like firmware support in your deployed Airwave, that would be a good moment to upgrade to the latest release.
If you need custom advice or have specific issues, it's best to work with your Aruba parter or Aruba Support.
