We are about to change laptops at our company, however we would like to reduce the capabilities these would require.

That is not possible. Only one user could access the VDI instance at a time and trying to bypass would violate your licensing agreement.

Check the system requirements, though. The Adobe apps are not made for lightweight hardware (including virtual hardware). The GPU requirements are particularly strict.
