Steam natively supports Linux. I don't think there's any reason to go through the heroic launcher to use steam. Most everything "just works".
I want to support GOG but it's just not the seamless experience on Linux that steam is. Sometimes it won't even finish updating cp2077 without me having to unbork something by manually deleting some update files.
Edit: btw, the shader downloads are a feature to improve your gameplay experience. But you can turn that off or skip it if you're ok with experiencing compilation hitching instead.
