According to the release notes:
https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Aruba-Instant-8.x-Books/Release-Notes/86/Aruba-Instant-8.6.0.25-Release-Notes.pdf
Refer to this section:
"Upgrade from Instant 6.4.x.x-4.2.x.x to Instant 8.6.0.x
Before you upgrade an Instant AP running Instant 6.5.4.0 or earlier versions to Instant 8.6.0.x, follow the
procedures mentioned...."
Hence; upgrade to the latest 6.5.4.x and then onward.
As with any upgrade - due diligence, preparation and caution are prudent.
Notes from experience:
If the IAP are using VPN-NG tunnels terminated on an AOS /MD/BGW consult the applicable release notes carefully,
Particularly an AOS command 'iapvpn-backward-compatible' (refer to the AOS CLI Reference guide).
Mesh is significantly different.

IAP-207 only requires vela
Ursa is for AP-303H
