I don't know if this is still the case, but as of a year ago if you become a registered Apple Developer then you got access to all the old versions of OS X and XCode as well as the pre-releases. That costs US$100/year, but once you have the complete set you could drop the subscription since it's easy to keep current: just copy the VM for version n when n+1 comes out and the let the system update itself. With regards to hardware, the single-core performance of the Mac Pro isn't that much better than the Mac Mini, see: https://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks but of course the Mac Mini has only 2 cores. If space is not an issue, you might think about the iMac with the i7-7700K, or, if it is, the top of the line Mac Book Pro is quite a bit more powerful than the Mini at this point.
