Best way to backup my GoG offline installer files?
I use https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader it is for Linux however. You can probably run it in WSL though.

Why is GOG better than Steam? Why should I prefer GOG?
If you have access to Linux, there's a community tool called LGOGDownloader that can download your whole library or selected parts of it in one go. It can also list any local files that aren't in your GOG account anymore, e.g. older versions of updated games. I use it regularly to keep my offline library of 600+ games up to date.

GOG answer to steam proton?
There actually is lgogdownloader, which apparently implements part of the GOG Galaxy API, but it seems to only do listing, downloading, and installing of games, and not whatever else Galaxy does.
