I had small but annoying > problems running it on a 2012 Mac mini i7. Here at home at the moment I have it running on a 2012 Mac mini server and a 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro. I also have it running on a few other computers elsewhere, including an older Apple Mac mini (Mid 2010) (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It's been relatively problem-free on all of them. The biggest issue I had was a strange problem with Time Machine backups hanging while consuming lots of CPU and disk space on the destination volume on the 2012 Mac mini server that runs most of the network services for my home network, after the upgrade converted the internal SSD to APFS. I ended up converting it back to HFS+ to work around that issue. Since the initial upgrade it's been very stable and stays running for months on end without a hiccup.
