I have the same issue and similar environment. Here is the Exception I see in the Debug Console when launching (F5) debug mode with Simulator.
[0:] Hot Reload initialization error: Hot Reload Bootstrap failed: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Connection refused)

The exception seems to be intermittent but the hot reload doesn't work at all regardless if this exception is thrown or not.

@nm4568 - Are you still able to repro this issue, even intermittently? If so, I'll suggest other troubleshooting steps to better track it down. Thanks.
