Launch the game using a virtual desktop to avoid fullscreen problems.
After fixing the alt-tab crash problem, I completed a full playthrough without significant issues.
Use winecfg to launch the game in a virtual desktop (see below).
The game crashes whenever you alt-tab. Launch the game in a wine virtual desktop to avoid this problem. Do this in a terminal (note that your path will probably be different if you're not using a debian-based distro):
WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/17450/pfx winecfg
A configuration window will open. Go to the "graphics" tab and enable the "emulate virtual desktop" option. A blue "desktop" will appear the next time you launch the game. It shouldn't crash when alt-tabbing anymore.
However, now alt-tabbing causes a different problem: keyboard controls don't work. If this happens to you, disable and enable fullscreen, and it will work again. You can do this quickly by pressing alt+enter twice. Or just try to avoid alt-tabbing. Use workspaces instead if you need to check another window while playing.
The game crashed a couple of times in a 50 hours playthrough. It's perfectly playable, but save frequently, just in case. Use F5 for quick save.
Native version caused system slowdowns. Proton version works flawlessly, and 07h mod works too.
It works great with 07h mod, but you need to install the Windows assets. Follow the instructions for "Linux Wine" on the mod's webpage. Download the native linux installer, but install it using
python main.py --asset-os windows
instead of the instalation script.
Borderless fullscreen didn't work correctly in the native version: the game window didn't cover GNOME's top bar. In the proton version, borderless fullscreen works flawlessly.
