I have zero issues running RHEL as a vmware guest. I mostly use RHEL kernels.
I happen to be running ESX but I have every reason to believe ESXi will behave similarly. I recommend you use the yum-repo based method to install vmware tools, rather than using the vmware console to do it. This is described here: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/osp_install_guide.pdf However, this is only tangential; either way will work fine with AFS.
