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.

Favorite unsupported game on the deck
I got Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast and the Sequel Jedi Academy to run at native resolution via Luxtorpeda and that was just one of the most beautiful revalations ever. They both launch with regular Proton as well even though they are deemed unsupported but with Luxtorpeda you get a Linux-native graphics wrapper and that's just plain awesome.

Me and one of my cats grinding old school RuneScape on my deck (above the cat)
If you're not using a Jagex account yet, you can use the RuneLite appimage on their website https://runelite.net , but even without a Jagex account, I still find the Jagex Launcher handy (I have over 6 accounts I play on lol)

What subscription is worth every single penny?
Highly recommend using https://runelite.net/ as your client to play the game, the "official" client isn't too good nowadays. There's also an official android and iOS app which is amazing

Plugin language question
I'm not 100% sure on how it works but another Java project I've worked on (Runelite) has a plugin system for straight Java plugins that can be installed/enabled at runtime without restarts, so I feel like it should be doable. An upside to this is on that project a lot of their core features are structured just as pre-installed plugins, which gives prospective devs a lot of example material to work with when making their own plugins.
I would assume the relevant places to look would be the PluginManager and the ExternalPluginManager. Note that their system has a central Plugin Hub that developers submit their plugins to, so any references to a manifest are to the list of plugins on that hub.

How common are false bans with Runelite?
By any chance could you have mistakenly downloaded a hacked runelite client? From which the attacker then captured your login information as you played, then used your account to bot with until it got banned. Seems unlikely since it's a brand new account, but it's worth making sure: Check your browser history and ensure you got it from https://runelite.net/ and not a fake site.
I don't believe this is the case, unfortunately. I checked the download URL from yesterday and it matches the URL I get when I download from https://runelite.net.
