There is no ARM version of the VM. You will need to run EVE-NG on an Intel PC or Mac.
Further points, based on the information in the exclusion list and reading between the lines:
The fact that Big Sur and later are not supported means that EVE-NG is not compatible with VMware Fusion running on Big Sur or later, which implies it is not compatible with Apple's hypervisor, probably also due to lack of support for nested virtualisation in the Apple hypervisor.
That means to run EVE-NG on an Intel Mac in VMware Fusion, the Mac must be running macOS Catalina or earlier, and you need VMware Fusion 12.1.2 or earlier, so that VMware's own hypervisor is used rather than Apple's one.
Not mentioned in the list, but the repeated warnings about nested virtualisation implies that you would also need to be running on a Mac which has a CPU that supports nested virtualisation in VMware Fusion 12.1.2 or earlier. This is a somewhat scattered and not obvious set of models.
For example, the Late 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro and mid 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro had three processor variants available, and of the three only the middle one supported nested virtualisation (not the cheapest and most expensive ones).
One way to check is to find the exact Intel processor used in a particular Mac (which Apple doesn't specify but can be found in third party resources such as everymac.com or the MacTracker utility), then look up that processor on ark.intel.com and see if it supports the "vPro" feature. The ones that mention vPro can do nested virtualisation in VMware Fusion 12.1.2 and earlier.
I don't have enough experience with VMware Workstation to know whether the same rule applies on the PC side of the fence.
