They are supposed to be cleaning up that list - there's a disconnect between it and tool support.

The tools are definitely depreciated.  But they still work on Intel.  I wouldn't count on anything for ARM because the tools are built common across all VMWare products, and I doubt the Fusion team will take on building custom tools for a niche use case on a niche product (especially when the windows tools still have gaps).

As for the OT cloud thread, I do cybersecurity for a living.  Cloud computing can be made just as secure as on-prem (and in many many cases, it's more-so, especially for smaller orgs).
