Wait, why not? I've been doing this for a few games so I can play on Linux or boot to Windows and play there if I need more reliable remote play or better performance. I haven't had any major issues, just annoying occasional proton reinstallation when I'm in Linux.
Wait a minute, Proton didn't shit the bed when you run games off of NTFS? Did you happen to set permission masks or smth?
I symlinked the game folders from a NTFS drive to steamapps/common/ on my ext4 drive, and it works fine. Of course the compatdata and shader caches are on the ext4 drive.
