I use arch in a VM on my HiDPI XPS13 with and without a desktop environment. Support is simple, if it doesn't recognize the HiDPI automatically (I could understand from inside a VM but I would suspect it running on hardware), support is just one setting in the X11 config file. With distros that don't have HiDPI support, I set the internal VM resolution to half my screen size and then set the VM scale to 2.0 within VMware. Overall a good experience.
