proton ge is actively maintained: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom - same guy that maintains nobara linux.
it's essentially proton experimental with extra patches and more up to date dxvk etc etc. While it is the bleeding edge of proton experimental, and all the other components, it's pretty stable in my experience. But as always: experimenting with different proton versions is key, what works - works.
Ooh, that's nice, I might have to try that myself.
Is it just one guy's project though? that kind of thing worries me in an xkcd #2347 kind of way.
honestly I don't know. That's a fair point, though I don't really consider proton-ge to be mission critical by any means.
It is mostly just the one guy. But afaik a lot of the maintenance involved is just bumping versions up to the latest version, which besides testing shouldn't really take much work.
I think he also sometimes adds his own patches for games, which would be a lot more work for one person of course. But this doesn't happen every release.
