I think this is great, at least on a personal level.

I've been running esxi to host my home infrastructure for many years. But Broadcom took that away.

As such, I've been looking around for a replacement, and if KVM can now support VMWare VMs natively, that will make my migration process a lot simpler.

Or am I missing something important?

Its worth noting that Workstation and ESXi formats are essentially different anyway, traditionally you needed to use VMware converter to convert between the formats. Pretty sure KVM has supported the VMware disk formats forever so you probably can already migrate the VM's without too much work (just installing a few drivers inside the guest OS etc).
