Vulkan is interesting but Vulkan at this stage has limited driver support. Long term Vulkan should be good. Long term opengl 4.6 should be somewhere near reasonable. Like we are seeing 50% perference at worse in wine 3.2 and that does not have all the optimisations that are known can be done like the 4.4 stuff is not all done let alone all the 4.5 or any of the 4.6 opengl features that wined3d could use.
If you use emulators like Dolphin and RPCS3, Vulkan makes a huge difference. Even though Wine is not an emulator, the way it handles graphics through wined3d is very much like how emulators work. Which is why something like DX11 over Vulkan is huge.
It is going to be a question how much difference as all this stuff is implemented will remain between galluim nine and wined3d.

How about that.
For a lot of games play that are some of the older hybrids that are dx7 and dx9 I have to use wine mainline they work on that attempt gallium-nine they will not run all and few of them don't like the hacks in wine-staging.

It is possible, but would depend on what features vk9 uses. Nothing stops you from making a non conforming drives, so long as you don't call it Vulkan.
Also, vk9 can use newer features to improve performance, which may limit the hardware it can be implemented on.
