Hi Cedric,
you do not need any Tools at all for CPU & memory hot-add to work.
What VMware Tools (both bundled and open) do is that they attempt to
configure system for you: they make sure that acpi_memhotplug is loaded,
and provides script that tries to bring hot-added resources online
automatically.
Current distributions usually take care of both of these tasks
automatically, as part of their systemd & udev setup, and so you do not
need any VMware Tools involvement to get this functionality (f.e.
Windows always supported this functionality without Tools present)
