I purchased a license and installed it on a Minisforum mini fanless PC (one of those cheap-o Chinese import things with crappy performance - https://www.minisforum.com/front/product/intel ). Honestly it runs fast and everything appears to work, I don't really have any noticeable issues. Thing is, I never used OS/2 back in the day and don't really know what I should do with it now :P

The one thing I'd call out is that in the current version of ArcaOS, secure boot is not possible, so keep that in mind when sourcing hardware.
