You said your eth0 is not in use, so it seems there is not really a
point in connecting simh or vms to it:

either directly

or indirectly via tap0 <-> br0 <-> eth0.

Also connecting multiple interfaces in VMS is probably adding too much
complexity if you don't have anything basic working yet.

It sounds to me like you should change the instructions that you
followed: use wlan0 where it says eth0, since wlan0 is what you're
actually using.
(Alternatively you can plug wlan0 into br0 in addition to tap0 and eth0,
but it doesn't sound like  a good idea in general to bridge between
wlan0 and eth0 when they might be in use at the same time).

Hope that helps,
