Deep Pause Aims To Give The Steam Deck True Quick Resume Features (steamdeckhq.com)

Plugin is in development, not fully ready yet.

There's also the plugin "pause games" that can suspend a game, stopping it from having any CPU/GPU load while you play something else. However it doesn't free up used memory, and sometimes controls don't work when multiple games are open, with one game intercepting inputs meant for the other games. So this would be pretty cool if it works out.

A recent steamOS update said it was laying the foundation for hibernation, which should be a more battery friendly alternative to sleep.

The second part depends on the game, some will just work. Others need to run a first launch script and install some stuff before launch, which I agree should be part of the download process. Finally some games require license check or additional network access on first launch while the game is running, and this part can't be automated by valve. Overall it's just a good habit to always run newly installed games once, at least long enough to get to the main menu.
