Perhaps you want what Red Hat calls 'direct integration' of sssd (on your VM) 
to AD?

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/integrating_rhel_systems_directly_with_windows_active_directory/index

In which case you don't use FreeIPA at all.

(Out of interest, how does VMWare send credentials into the VM so it can join 
the domain?)
