The logs are saying that the Intel chip you have in that Mac is an i7-4790K. Everymac.com indicates the only Mac using that chip is a iMac 5K Late 2014 model. If that's the Mac you have and you are running Monterey 12.6.7 on it, you are most likely running Open Core Legacy Patcher (OCLP) to get Monterey to run.  There are known issues with trying to run Fusion on a Mac that's using OCLP.

The logs are also saying that the virtual machine monitor has abruptly stopped writing entries in the logs. This is one of the issues that has been seen when using OCLP. Another user did some extensive testing and found that OCLP disables AMFI (Apple Mobile File Integrity, one of the core security features of macOS) in order to get its hacked drivers to work. His research showed that disabling AMFI causes a failure of the Apple hypervisor to start a VM.and for the log entries to abruptly end in the same spot as I'm seeing in your logs. 

So from what I see in the logs, it's your macOS version running on unsupported hardware that's "bent". And that's an Open Core issue, not a VMware issue.

That being said, it's possible that something with your Open Core installation isn't quite the same as the way it was before. Perhaps you decided to use a newer version of Open Core during your reinstallation that now does different things to macOS. You might want to take this up with the Open Core community.
