Shared disk between two ebcrypted vms?

According to the Virtual Machine Encryption Limitations it should be possible to share a disk between 2 vms as long as both are encrypted:

"If more than one unencrypted virtual machine shares the same virtual disk and you encrypt one of the virtual machines, the virtual disk becomes unusable for the unencrypted virtual machine."

See https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-854D14DC-6C9B-49FF...

IMO this implies that a disk can be shared between vms as long as both are encrypted but this isn't the case. Is there a possibility to share a disk between encrypted vms. The disk does not has to be shared between 2 running vms, I just need a "data" disk.
