Not OP, but as I'm sure you already know, there is a small but significant minority of games that don't play nice on Linux. Generally these are triple-A games that either have very competitive MP scenes, and/or which are thinly disguised casinos (e.g. Madden).
There's also more friction with gaming on Linux the moment you step off the beaten path (i.e. Steam). Yes, yes, Lutris etc, but you're still going to run into things that refuse to play ball from time to time. You can generally solve these, but it's friction you don't get on Windows, and that you might not be in the mood for when you want to play a game.
I've been a gamer on Linux for years too. I'd say it's ~80% there. (95% if you don't play competitive triple-As and stick to Steam.) It drops dramatically though if you want to play oddball 90s and 00s games, or use modding tools, etc.
Personally, I've been toying with the idea of putting Windows on my gaming PC again, after many years. It's not my daily driver, so I'm not too fussed what runs the actual games. My time is limited and valuable to me, and I do not want to spend it nailing down cryptic Proton incantations (admittedly rare, but not yet rare enough). I love tinkering, but that's not tinkering, that's a chore.
