You can get a dock and plug in a mouse and keyboard, a monitor, etc...

I would just use my desktop for that use case. There's still a small minority of games that just don't work via proton but it's really a minority.

I've also seen a handful of games with linux builds that just don't run properly because they update the game but don't do enough QA to the linux build or simply don't put resources towards linux issues to the same degree that windows gets.

I ran PopOS on linux for years, every game I had worked, and actually performed better than on Windows, once Proton got to version 7.

with the exception of games that run multiplayer kernel level anti cheat.

** oh and almost all of those games use anti cheats that are compatible with linux/proton, and have been for 3 years, but the game devs/management just refuse to enable that support, even though its already included in their contracts with AC providers for no extra cost.
