I periodically run into the problem, having to spin up old Angular projects with deprecated dependencies of Angular.
Because I unsually run the latest Node.js version (at least lates LTS version) I often had the problem, that I wasn't able to get the old projects running. I solved this by using a node version manager, but still I often have the problem that I'm not sure what is the best Node.js version to use for Angular Version X.
Sadly the official release notes handle this topic shabbily and are not a true help, especially if you like to know as of which Angular Version you can't use a specific Node.js version anymore...
Is there a complete compatibility list to check which Angular version is compatible with which Node.js version?

UPDATE: 2024 The new docs introduced a new resource for version compatibility
Alternatively you can navigate to compatibility versions by using ngvm, e.g:
npx -y ngvm compat
Since April 2023 Angular docs provide a table of compatible versions:
Angular CLI version | Angular version | Node.js version | TypeScript version | RxJS version |
---|---|---|---|---|
19.0.x | 19.0.x | ^18.19.1 || ^20.11.1 || ^22.0.0 | >=5.5.0 <5.7.0 | ^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0 |

Official document by Angular - https://angular.io/guide/versions
They keep it updated and also have a separate list of unsupported versions.

You can use the Angular Update Guide to find the node version supported. This is official guide from Google.
Just pretend you are upgrading from a old version. For instance, if you are on Angular 15, set the guide to upgrade from 14 to 15 and it will let you know what node version you need.

I have a similar problem. I uninstalled angular cli and reinstaled a previous version several times, until reaching angular cli v9, but when I try to run "ionic serve" I still get the same message "The Angular CLI requires a minimum Node.js version of either v14.15 or 16.10". Always the same message though I now have Angular CLU v9 and node v12.20.0 (I can't install a higher version of node.js because I have windows 7 in an old notebook and I can't buy a new one).

I acknowledge that this does not actually answer your question. But it does provide some relevant information for current version (which is what brought me here).
Here is the official word from Angular on current version:
https://angular.io/guide/setup-local
"Angular requires a current, active LTS, or maintenance LTS version of Node.js."
In the notes you will see a link to a package.json file that contains an "engines" section. For Angular 11 it says:
"engines": {
"node": ">= 10.13.0",
"npm": ">= 6.11.0",
"yarn": ">= 1.13.0"
},
It might be possible to look at the released version of package.json in GitHub and determine the engines.node setting?
