Upon more careful look, there is a workaround

I have managed to reproduce the issue. The reason is that in ESXi 8.0 the usage of VirtualMachineTicketType.device and VirtualMachineTicketType.mks is disabled. Instead VirtualMachineTicketType.webDevice and VirtualMachineTicketType.webMks should be used respectively.
Fortunately there is an option to allow the old behaviour. You need to set "allow_authd_ticket" to "true" in hostd configuration. Folllow this KB  about configstorecli. Use the following snippet to update the configuration properties:

{
   "plugins": {
      "vmsvc": {
         "allow_authd_ticket": true
      }
   }
}
