After updating the PunkBuster anti-cheat with Bottles, I was able to play online without problems. (Protontricks did not work for me, probably a NixOS problem.)
The launch options are to strip too-long env vars, as the EA app can't handle them well, it seems. The bash -c '[...]' is only there because I'm using the fish shell and not needed for bash-like shells.
