From my experience, vmware is what breaks vmware under linux.

So upgrading your OS breaks your applications? Kind of my point.

Yes, if you application was coded to only work with a specific version of the kernel.

What about host shares in the guest OS? That stopped working at 14, and I haven't seen it work since.

Host shares should work, but might not be if you use the open-vm-tools. At least in ubuntu 14 it got broken and while upstream fixed it, Ubuntu did not care to fix it in their repo.
