Created UEFI boot image. Tested on real HW and on ESXi 7. One ESXi I used USB boot for DS918 by adding USB 3 controller and adding following through Edit Settings => VM Options => Boot Options

Frimware: EFI
Enable UEFI secure boot: uncheck

and this in Edit Settings => VM Options => Advanced in the option Configuration Parameters: Edit Configuration and then add

usb_xhci:3.present = "TRUE"
usb_xhci:3.deviceType = "disk"
usb_xhci:3.fileName = "tinycore-redpill-uefi.v0.4.5.vmdk"
usb_xhci:3.readonly = "FALSE"

For vid and pid I use:

vid=0x0e0f
pid=0x0005

I used StarWind V2V Image Converter to convert img file to VMWare ESX server image.

If you don't have image converter you can use this vmdk file, had to change extension to attache it here, after download remove txt extension and you can upload this file and the unpacked tinycore-redpill-uefi.v0.4.5.img.gz to ESXi for test.

tinycore-redpill-uefi.v0.4.5.vmdk.txt
