Thanks for pointing that out. That sounds relevant to bug 1885026 and
this one...
In the case of this bug it explains why the fractional scaling value is
not persisted -- because the virtual monitor resolution has changed.
Mutter considers that a different display configuration and so won't
keep any old settings from it. You can see this as a separate block in
your ~/.config/monitors.xml

but those report the issues are fixed. They also do not mention the
VMware specific issues.
Install Ubuntu 20.04 in VMware Player, install open-vm-tools (done
automatically with Easy Install), go to settings, enable Fractional
Scaling and select any non-integer value.
Results:
- The scaling is applied
- After next reboot the setting is reverted to 100%
