Back in the time, there were even hacks to run Windows 95 in safe mode on 286 machines. 386 with 4 megs was the official minimal requirement.

What were the limitations and hacks involved in this? I mean, parts of W95 (certainly including explorer.exe) were 32-bit so either they had to be disabled/replaced or the kernel extended with an 80386 emulator.

IIRC it may involve using some parts from Win 3.11 running on MS-DOS 7.0 and other windows 95 parts.
