I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

This is the main reason, other than gog's lack of support, for not going full Linux.

You can use a launcher like Heroic to play games you have on gog or epic.

Also Lutris. I haven't actually tried Heroic so I don't know how they compare, but Lutris is a pretty good launcher.

I buy mostly GOG games (like 90%) and with Heroic it's quite easy.

But it's not as good as simply using steam

Nope, not yet. But it's getting there. And at least for me it's worth it.
