I don't know, but I've got no problems to run it as a virtualbox guest,
by giving minimal resources.

"Base Memory" 2048 MB, 1 CPU, "Video Memory" 128 MB. With the current
broken virtualbox release 6.1.12 I just needed to migrate from the
VboxVGA controller, to the VBoxSVGA controller.

Host is Arch Linux (in my experiences virtualbox behaves identically on
Ubuntu and Arch), a dual-core
$ hwinfo --cpu | grep Model | sort -u
  Model: 6.60.3 "Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1840 @ 2.80GHz"
$ hwinfo --memory | grep Size
  Memory Size: 7 GB + 512 MB

I'm using the virtualbox default vdi for the guest on a SSD, at least
qcow is way slower than vdi.

Using the mentioned settings I can use iTunes running on the Windows 10
guest to backup an iPad Pro with 1 TB via USB, without
annoying performance issues. Running a web browser suffers from serious
performance issues, but neither you nor I want to use virtualbox to run
a web browser.
