Chances are they will work without issue.
USB drivers aren’t something you’ll need to go searching for, most chipset drivers are something built into the kernel.
Bazzites’ use of a modern up to date kernel and the fact that USB HID works better on Linux than windows should benefit you. Furthermore it builds on Valves work supporting as many input devices as humanly possible with Steam.
The only concern you should have are things like RGB or non-standard hardware that requires extra software to operate. One of these things is an XBox One controller as it’s not a standard USB HID

I found a reddit post from a year or so ago, reportedly Bazzite has drivers for the dongle out of the box. I'm a little more concerned about the keyboard+touchpad combo, since I'd imagine that's not quite a standard device. Fortunately, I give negative fucks about any RGB, so I really don't care if any RGB the components happen to have don't even light up.
I can confirm my K400 works flawlessly on my Optiplex SFF running Bazzite, using the dongle. Even two finger scrolling works out of the box.
