My work PC is also my gaming PC as well, but I've been on Linux full time for about 6 years. You do have some of the clear sticking points that won't work well. Photoshop is probably the only Adobe app that does work well, because there has been such interest for a long time, but the newest versions specifically fight you. I suspect that newer versions (which professionals are usually using) have been intentionally hobbled by Adobe to prevent their use. Genshin Impact is one of the few cases where there is absolutely no work around right now and I honestly have no idea why.

If your steam catalog is anything like mine (read: huge and been around a long time), I wouldn't focus so much on the percentages from SteamDB. We both know that we're not going back and playing most of those games from 15+ years that came in bundles :) I went through my games a while back and found that only about 5% of my catalog I would actually consider playing or re-playing wouldn't work. It does directly come into play when looking at new games to purchase, but the vast majority these days launch as playable or get there shortly after.

Hopefully one day you can escape.
