Thank you for the details @Technogeezer! I could live with some bad performance (the performance of the Parallels hypervisor was indeed not the best as well, but at least it worked somehow), but the crashes and bluescreens are really a showstopper. Actually I need the nested virtualization mainly for a dev environment for an Open Source project which also uses docker etc. which I don't want to have all on my normal MacOS. Probably I try it on a Linux or MacOS VM next, let's see how this works...

Which features exactly are you talking about? I pretty sure my CPU (one of the latest Intel Core i5 Apple built into MacBooks) has all the required features (otherwise I would also expect that Fusion doesn't offer the option to enable it), and it works perfectly with the Parallels hypervisor which also uses the virtualization features of the CPU. Edit: It's the i5-1038NG7 to be precise.

I have basically the same problems (different BSOD, crashing processes, Windows freezing completely) with the VMware Fusion 13.0.0 on MacOS 13.1 with Windows 11 Pro (all have the latest updates) as long as "Enable hypervisor applications in this virtual machine" is enabled (and actually used). Took me some time till I figured this out. First I migrated my Windows 10 VM from Parallels which started crashing and at first I thought it has something to do with the graphics driver. Then I installed a fresh Windows 11 Pro which started crashing and freezing as soon as I installed WSL incl. the Virtual Machine Platform. As long as "Enable hypervisor applications in this virtual machine" was enabled, but  WSL/Virtual Machine Platform was not installed, everything was fine, and when both are installed, but "Enable hypervisor applications in this virtual machine" is disabled, it's fine too. I switched from Parallels because they can do nested virtualization only with they own hypervisor which is deprecated and I read that VMware Fusion can do nested virtualization with the Apple hypervisor, but seems that this is not really the case, at least if it is supposted to actually work.
