Do it! I just made the switch (using PopOS as my distro, AMD CPU, 1080ti GPU) and haven't had much trouble with my extensive Steam collection. The biggest issue so far was Bioshock Infinite which actually runs native and I had to edit some configs for texture pools. SteamVR / Index has been a little unstable but seems to generally work (I don't use it enough to be sure if it's Linux or my hardware getting old).
SteamDB has been a excellent resource for checking compatibility and game specific tweaks.
Civ6 also has issues with the Linux version due to Aspyr slacking. A bunch of the newer content hasn't been ported yet. Fortunately, you can force Steam to install the Windows version and run it with Proton.
