Short answer: no. You can expect to fiddle at least sometimes. Many games will run out of the box in proton, but there a million things that can throw a wrench in the gears. I've personally never had a 100% seamless experience for the duration of a game.
This has been true across a couple distros, although none that were specifically geared toward gaming. Maybe I'll change my tune next time I hop distros.
There's Valve's custom Distro they built for the steamdeck, unfortunately they haven't fully released it yet, for the time being it's only available via steamdeck recovery software.
