I would highly recommend to use ESXi instead of Workstation no matter if it is running on Linux or Windows.
IMHO Ubuntu is a bad choice for a long term stable setup - it changes like the weather and and any Linux update might interrupt your production.
If you really must use Workstation pick Debian 10 or another slower moving distribution as the host. Stay away from Windows 10 or 11.

I used to recommend Workstation for production use years ago - but nowadays I would not use anything but ESXi.
