After ~70% FPS Boost For Zink, The OpenGL-on-Vulkan Code Is ~50% The GL Native Speed

[Snaipersky]

Is it true that DXVK has approached/exceeded native DirectX speeds?

It depends on a lot of things. "A Hat in Time" is the poster child for "DXVK is faster than native", with a hefty 50% performance boost, though most of the time it's +/-15% native, especially once shaders have been compiled and pipelines cached. Do note however, that DXVK also sacrifices certain features, such as I believe shared surfaces, important for things like GDI controlled playback of media in a directx application.
