I missed that detail, apologies. In that case the only thing I can add is that in my environment, a Mac using a Thunderbolt 10Gbe NIC running as an ESXi host does provide 10Gbps performance to Windows/Linux/BSD virtual machines that have VMXNET3 support. If your client OS is supported, then hand hacking the config file should work to switch the NIC to VMXNET3. Neither Fusion nor Workstation seem to let you select VMXNET3 in the GUI even for supported client OS's.
