I'm seeing a lot of cruft in two configuration files that I don't see in a freshly installed configuration.
In particular in file /Users/gregory333/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences

These do not exist in a working configuration.
Also I question these in file /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/config:
2023-11-10T18:34:07.494Z In(05) vmx DICT --- HOST DEFAULTS /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/config
2023-11-10T18:34:07.494Z In(05) vmx DICT vmnet1.hostonlyaddress = "192.168.17.1"
2023-11-10T18:34:07.494Z In(05) vmx DICT vmnet1.hostonlynetmask = "255.255.255.0"
Those should be redundant if the vmnet1 (hostonly) network is configured with the 192.168.17.0/24 network. I'd get rid of it as it's unnecessary.
My idea at this point is to perform a manual uninstall of Fusion per KB article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1017838 and verify what you've done with the script available at https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Documents/Script-to-check-if-all-remnants-of-VMware-...
Then reinstall Fusion and see if things work with the out-of-the-box settings.
