Sorry, I should have said eroge have worked fine with wine before Proton was a thing.
As for some games not working, yeah. There are some that will not work properly even after spending hours trying to fix them. There's one that only works on windows with access to a real GPU.

It was bad wording on my part about Proton. I meant to say the stuff I run doesn't need Proton's fixes and works fine on normal wine.

You know what, I am actually gonna try infecting my VMs with wanacryptor to see if it breaks sandboxing. That's a good suggestion to finally shake off some of my paranoia.
I'll give bottles a go too. It seems simpler to use after the initial setup.

Yeah, I'll give bottles a go.
Fair point about new wine prefixes. I'd probably make a new one and forget to remove symlinks for that one.
