When looking at Console.app the culprit seems to be macOS’ WindowServer (see attached crash report):
Deactivating 3D acceleration does not solve this issue. #VMWARE FUSION 7 CRASH MACBOOK PRO WINDOWS#
It seems to me the issue occurs more quickly when I have many windows open, but I haven’t validated this systematically yet.
The issue only occurs when the VM is running – absolutely no problems, when the VM is turned off or suspended. 
Using a freshly booted host and/or guest OS does not make any difference. Then, again, I have a couple of minutes running the VM until the same issue happens again. When logging in, the VMware is not visible anymore (but still running), so I have to suspend and restart the VM. After some of these freezes (sometimes just a few minutes, sometimes after an hour), everything goes black, I am back at the macOS login screen. What is happening? When using the VM over time the whole system (both guest OS and host OS) hangs for some seconds every other minute. The problem exists in both VMware Fusion 11.5.5 and 11.5.6. I have not yet encountered the memory leak as the system is crashing before. Since then I have updated to 10.15.6, but the issue remains. The issue emerged when using macOS Catalina 10.15.5, so I do not think it is related to the known issue relating to the memory leak. #VMWARE FUSION 7 CRASH MACBOOK PRO PRO#
I am using VMware Fusion 11.5 on my MacBook Pro (15″, 2018) and for a couple of weeks now, my whole system has become mostly unusable when the VM is running.
