The requirements are steep but whether it's a "good" steep or a "bad" steep will depend entirely on the end result. The pre-release footage looks good so it's entirely possible that the system requirements are entirely justified. Or that they aren't.

We'll need to wait and see the final result. Or, the handful of people on PC willing to put up with EGS will see the final result and the rest of us will debate that secondhand. Not sure how big the market will be on that front.

At the least I expect AW2 to have a healthy lifespan in hardware benchmarking...

(Note that since Epic funded this game from start to finish I don't begrudge them making it exclusive to their store, unlike the other exclusives. Doesn't mean I want to buy it, but I don't fault them.)
