No. Not anymore. Haven't encountered a single game yet that doesn't run either via Steam or Wine. Games that require Secure Boot won't work and not all anti-cheats work but Battle Eye and Easy Anticheat for example work under Linux. Valve has done incredible work and it only gets better.
Also CachyOS in general is significantly faster than W10 and especially W11.
Wine/Proton are far from perfect. Many games, particularly ones that are graphically demanding, will randomly crash while running on Wine/Proton, much more so than they would while running in Windows.

Haven't experienced any of that with an AMD GPU.
Boot-access anti-cheat shouldn't exist, anyways, so not "being able" to play things you shouldn't be using anyways isn't really a loss.
What about modding games?
Also works. You install them via Wine if they're installed with an .exe. Drag and drop is business as usual.
