This actually sounds a bit like an ESX bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191201

Can you check whether either of the workarounds works for you? 
Apparently you can put this in the VMSS file:

    vmxnet3.rev.30 = FALSE

or run this in the guest, substituting the network interface name:

    ethtool -G <interface> rx-mini 0
