The VMWare version was not in the announcement so I think that is still
supported.

Subject: HMC x86 support
IBM has announced the end of software upgrades for x86 based HMC's (see
below). Does anyone know if this includes the virtual HMC running on
VMware? I suspect that they are included since they run the same code base
as the hardware appliances but a case could be made since they call out the
7042 hardware models.
Major update support for x86-based (7042) HMC hardware appliances will end
in 2018. From 2019, HMC updates will only support PowerR-based (7063) HMC
appliances. However, software fix support for existing in-support releases
for the x86-based HMC appliance will remain unchanged. See the IBM POWERR
code matrix website for the lifecycle of releases for the hardware
appliance.
