Looking at ProtonDB, the only reports I see of it not working well on deck are from 11 months ago, where people were getting full system crashes while playing. Those crashes sound like the deck is running out of ram/vram, and should no longer happen since the SteamOS 3.6 update that changed to zram.

So I'm not really seeing any reports for why it would be considered unsupported now.

The game is still crashing after about 15 minutes of playing for me on my steam deck. There is a memory leak and it has never been addressed from the developers. The only thing the 3.6 update changed for me was that before, the game would crash my whole steam deck so I had to restart, and now it only crashes the game.
