XG Home Edition on ESXi 6.7 with 4+ vNICs - NICs order

Question

Hello! 
 Im trying to install Sophos XG on my ESXi 6.7 using ISO (as OVA has some issues on my ESXi when trying to import VM from it). I need 6 interfaces so I added 6 network adapters to VM. Installation finished without any issues and also I was able to finish Initial Setup. But after reboot XG stops to answer on both LAN and WAN interfaces (other networks does not contain any hosts yet so I checked only LAN and WAN). 
 I found that XG works well if VM has only 3 interfaces. If add one more this issue appears again. 
 Is there any kind of port count limit for Home Edition or what else may cause this?

Found the root of the issue - VMXNET3 adapters. After swithing to E1000 issue was been fixed.

I found better fix then E1000: 
 In ESXi go to Edit VM -> VM Options -> Advanced -> Edit Configuration 
 Then switch values for ethernetX.pciSlotNumber parameters to reorder NICs. For my case (6 NICs) following fixed the ordering issue: 
 Initially it was: 
 
 ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = 192 ethernet1.pciSlotNumber = 224 ethernet2.pciSlotNumber = 256 ethernet3.pciSlotNumber = 1184 ethernet4.pciSlotNumber = 1216 ethernet5.pciSlotNumber = 1248 
 
 I changed it to following: 
 
 ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = 1184 ethernet1.pciSlotNumber = 192 ethernet2.pciSlotNumber = 1216 ethernet3.pciSlotNumber = 224 ethernet4.pciSlotNumber = 1248 ethernet5.pciSlotNumber = 256 
 
 Also found that this is consist between VMs and *nix OS - same fix work for pfSense as well (at least for 6 NICs)
