The old FC430's have been running ESXI 7.0.1 for about a year now. I have rebooted them a handful of times.
There are some critical things you need to do if you are running these off SD cards, regardless of the version
1: Set the scratch folder to a shared datastore. Do this under advanced options
2: Move the VMware tools to RAMDISK : https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83376
3: Set coredump to a shared datastore : https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2077516
You will absolutely destroy SD cards (even in 7.0.1) if you don't do these 2 things. The VMware tools to RAMDISK is especially important. Reboot after you make the change to have it apply.
We run mixed ESXi under the same vCenter. It is no problem. Try and keep similar hosts in the same cluster, but it will let you run mixed servers in a same cluster
