@MaximilianClemens Sorry for the late reply, I didn't find the time to work on the PRs in this collection for some time :-(

I'm not very familiar with the inventory code, but as far as I can see your changes look OK.

Please add a changelog fragment, maybe changelogs/fragments/1972-vmware_guest_tools_upgrade.yml:

minor_changes:
  - vmware_vm_inventory - Add parameter `subproperties` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1972).
