Game runs solid on Steam with Proton but not perfect in comparison to the native Windows counterpart.

As mentioned, Shadowbringers opening intro CG cutscene audio will crackle/stutter and fall out of sync.
Audio becomes out of sync during Shadowbringers intro cutscene. A Realm Reborn intro sequence "Answers" cannot be run. Shader cache loading can cause some stuttering.
With that being said, it is almost indistinguishable from a casual perspective. I used a custom Proton fork to login to the game with the new launcher introduced in 5.1 so while it's necessary to start the game for the first time with the "Browser 1" modification, you can then change it to "Browser 2" after switching to Proton-4.21-GE-2.

Numerous changes
Since the launch of 7.0 a bug which used to stop the "Opening Movie" and the "A Realm Reborn Movie and Title" from playing all the way through seems to have been fixed on the Steam Deck. In particular the Opening Movie would be played by default upon a fresh install of the game and used to lock up and crash preventing Linux users from playing without a workaround. This potentially may no longer be an issue for fresh installs now that the movies can be played.
Unsure if this has been fixed on Linux in general or just the Steam Deck under Proton Experimental.
