This guide was tremendously helpful in getting VR set up and running well on Linux overall.

Half-Life: Alyx
Tinker Steps:Set launch options
-novid -nowindow
Performance:Slight Performance Problems
Stutters every now and then.
Instability:Frequently
The game crashes on loading screens nearly every time, taking SteamVR down with it (error code -203), and causing a GPU driver timeout, often requiring me to reboot my computer.
I've been tinkering with this for days, trying every possible configration under the sun, and I have yet to be able to resolve these frequent and consistent crashes at loading screens.
I'm still not sure if it's an issue with the game, SteamVR, video drivers, or a combination of all three that is causing it.
