I've used VMWare since before 1.0 (there was a public beta) on Linux, and for a number of years actually paid for VMWare Fusion Pro, before finally realising (admitting?) that Fusion Player did everything I needed. It has always been, and remains, the best virtualisation. There's been a lot of doubt about whether Broadcom would break that, and we just don't know.
This seems like a positive move though, although like others have found the Broadcom support site is a complete sh---comedy sideshow at the moment, and I can't actually download a damn thing. Also, the in-app upgrade from Fusion Player 13.5.1 wasn't working for me. Luckily found a hacky way to download its update files directly, which turn out to just be the app anyway, so migration done.
I use it mainly on Apple Silicon to run Fedora Linux, but also have an install sitting on a barely used Intel iMac for running Windows 11.
Foreseen problem: Currently, like almost everything else you don't get from the app store, it's available as a cask in Homebrew. But I'm not sure that's going to be able to continue if there aren't official direct downloads of the app dmg available. If Broadcom keep trying to insist that you have a support sign-in, while their site barely works...
