Very interesting. I think this would have less benefit in games and more in applications, but sounds like they know where the wins are.

Is this to help fix the codec issues Proton has, or is that unrelated?

Essentially, although it depends on the specific issue. I don't think hardware decoding with Wine is well supported either, so this should help with performance in the case of slow CPUs (or very high resolution / frame rate video).

If nothing else, the wrapper can just focus on translating to Vulkan Video, which should simplify things significantly.
