STEPS:

  1. create View
  2. add View field
  3. select sub-view from "View" dropdown

PROBLEM:
This causes the loading wheel to spin, then the View field modal is replaced with the standard "Add Field" modal, which, as far as I can tell, has nothing to do with our "Add View Field" workflow. This prevents you from continuing with the View field configuration that you were just working on.

WORKAROUND:
After adding new View field, don't select the sub-view, select Apply, then click the newly added View field and configure it from there.

For what it is worth, I tested this again on https://simplytest.me/ using Drupal core 8.4.1. The only module I installed in that environment was views_field_view 8.x-1.0-beta2. Same exact same results.

I had a look at the code, in file View.php $form['view'] '#ajax' was using path index, which IMO should be 'url' instead

Replicated in 1.x-dev, although the behaviour is slightly different. After selecting a view, instead of seeing a spinner, the window disappears and is replaced by the 'add field' popup.

After applying the patch, the problem is fixed, and you can add the field correctly. Thanks @purushotam.rai
