While we're reporting our experience, I'll say that my experience with Proton has been highly mixed. By which I mean I have seen several games work pretty much flawlessly, and several that were pretty much totally busted, and many in between. I think there are also quite a lot of games that benefit from customising the Proton setup instead of just using the default configuration (there are often guides online for particular games, advising what version with what tweaks will make things work), but tbh I rarely have the motivation to go down that route. I usually check protondb before buying things.
For what it's worth, I no longer have a Windows install. If a game doesn't have a Linux version and doesn't work on Wine/Proton, I just live without that game.
I will say that I give Valve major kudos for their work on Proton even with its limitations. It's one of the primary reasons that I continue to use Steam and haven't done much with GOG or other sources (despite GOG's admirable stance on DRM)
