I know this is a very old post but I just went through the same exercise and I think I figured out how to enable 802.11k with the suggested additional changes from the Aruba document.
I had to use the CLI in order to create a dot11k-profile and a bcn-rpt-req-profile.
Let's say there is a wireless network named Foo then the CLI commands are
configure
bcn-rpt-req-profile bcn-rpt-req-foo
measure-mode active-ch-rpt
exit
dot11k-profile dot11k-foo
dot11k-enable
bcn-rpt-req-profile bcn-rpt-req-foo
exit
wlan ssid-profile Foo
okc
dot11v
dot11k
dot11k-profile dot11k-foo
exit
exit
commit apply
After running these commands I can see in the output of show ap debug driver-config
the 802.11k settings appear to be as desired for Measurement Mode for Beacon Reports and Advertise Quiet IE.

I do not see any way to change the value for Advertise Quiet IE, but the default appears to be the desired value of disabled.
My Aruba Instant cluster is running 8.10.0.9

Subject: Configuring 802.11k parameters in InstantOS
Can 802.11k parameters be configured in Aruba Instant?
Specifically, I wish to apply the recommended values in Aruba's document "RF and Roaming Optimization for Aruba 802.11ac Networks":
Enable 11k with these additional changes:
• Beacon report set to Active Channel Report.
• Disable Quiet Information Element parameter from the Radio Resource Management profile
