No, its actually not enabled.
We have put it on "proton-cachyos" behind a env variable (https://github.com/CachyOS/proton-ca...58aebad2e65054) , but the expierence is generally a mixed match, since its based on wine 9.0 and does not include the recent upstream wine-wayland patches.

Tangentially related, but I got the Steam survey today on my new desktop build. It only picked up the iGPU from the 7900X3D and not the dGPU. Probably not a lot of submissions that look like they are trying to game on Tumbleweed with the weak sauce Zen 4 iGPU .

Same here. Picked also my iGPU instead of NVIDIA. Quite funny. Maybe they silently want to increase AMD Marketshare.
Had it now the first time since several years

Or maybe it's just a bug and not a major conspiracy by big valve.

Waiting for Steam to support Wayland.

Proton is a fork of wine. Wine is still developing their Wayland support. in wine 9.x you can enable the Wayland support but it's hit or miss, i.e. not ready for mass usage yet.

In other words I'd say that it's "in progress"

Photography Simulator

I can't believe that's real. I watched a few minutes of the dev live streaming it and decided it isn't the game for me. It inspired me to go and play Photography Reality. Here's the first bloom of one of my new roses.
