Answer

No, When making a referral, the SMB server refers an IP address to the Windows client. Because NTLM authentication is used when making a connection using an IP address, Kerberos authentication is not performed for referred connections.
 
The Windows client can't create the service principal name needed for Kerberos, so it can't obtain a Kerberos ticket for the service.
If SCVMM requires Kerberos, node referral must be disabled.
