"Playable" usually means the game is perfectly fine, but has some issue that prevents it from being considered perfect. Usually it is something stupid like the fonts of some menu not being the proper size. If a game is deemed "Playable" then it is most often possible to play the game from start to finish.
Wine and the like are actually quite performant. They are native grade, I dare say. What they do for the most part is to hijack library calls from the game and direct them to Windowesque libraries. It is not like you are running a Windows kernel in the background.
These projects are going nowhere. Steam is just making so much money from selling SteamDecks. Besides, they have a strategic interest in not being dependant on Microsoft.
