If there is negligible performance loss (which I doubt, but can hope) then yes all of your points are valid and there isn’t really any reason to not switch, besides losing support. For example I doubt Adobe will support any bugs I get using Lightroom with that tool, but I could probably deal with it.

Oh right! I forgot about that project. I tested it out when I was first released and I liked it. I just haven't bothered with it in many years as there was nothing Windows only that I needed (outside of games, and Proton handles that).

Back in the day I would have wanted Photoshop, but everything I need can be done with GIMP, Krita, or Photopea. And I used Kdenlive or DaVinci Resolve for video editing.

You should have near native performance minus GPU acceleration. But even then there are solutions.

VirtGL is a project I've been keeping my eye on. It's usable now but only in certain configs.
