Grezzo 2 on Steam Deck?
Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

Roller coaster Tycoon 2 saves
I use ProtonUp-Qt to get different Proton versions. You can find it there. You could also manually install Lux. Then just select it from the Compatibility tools.

GZDoom and Linux
There's a project called Luxtorpeda which acts as a compatibility layer in Steam but instead of running the game through Proton, it will download and run it with native engines and source ports. So if you enable it with classic Doom it will pop up with a dialog asking which port to play with (GZDoom, doomsday etc) and it will count towards your Steam play time, enable the Steam overlay etc. Keeps the engine up to date and works with lots of other games with open source ports too.

Tip for Linux users: How to integrate OpenMW with a Steam installation of Morrowind
the way to get Steam to use OpenMW and other available open source engines is to set up luxtorpeda

Where does Luxtorpeda install OpenMW?
I did find the install finally, but that's a good idea. Luxtorpeda is kind of an alternative to getting several Steam games running using native Linux engines, I think via Docker: https://github.com/dreamer/luxtorpeda
