This is how I got D4 to work on my deck as well. It’s pretty cool.
I also did create a isolated games folder and added as a symlink to the battle.net install folders, that way the games are installed outside of the proton prefix, and I just need to add a new game to steam with a link to battle.net and change a bit of the variables to tell proton where it should use the files.
Works flawlessly. I love that the steam deck behaves as a console overall but we can fiddle in a bit and do some tweaks like these.
It’s actually quite simple to do this process for everyone that has D2R on battle.net and don’t want to pay twice for the steam version in the future. That is, if they ever release it…
