I personally would still use Azure Migrate to access the environment to help with right sizing and to discover dependencies. Followed up by Azure site recovery to fail the VM over into Azure.

Certainly make sure your VMWare environments are on a supported version for Azure Site Recovery but that would get my vote. I have used this to recover a single VM up to 100+. The experience and workflow is simple and the same across both movements!
