The excellent performance monitoring tool MangoHud v0.8.4 is out now, and it contains an important bug-fix with the Steam Overlay. You can use MangoHud to check things like FPS, frame timings, temperatures, CPU/GPU load, benchmarking and lots more features. Check out the GamingOnLinux Guide for more info on how to use it!
With a previous release it turns out it was butting heads with the Steam Overlay, so it wouldn't appear. I noticed it but thought it was a Proton issue but it was a MangoHud bug - nice to see it solved.
