Bioshock remastered works with proton. You need to disable esync, but it plays great so far. Bioshock 2 remastered requires a controller to get past the loading screens, but you can use a mouse and keyboard to play the game as long as you use the controller to push A to continue.

EDIT: Apparently someone already found a workaround to the "press space to continue" issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/482#issuecomment-436019150

The only thing I had to do different was patch the Bioshock2.exe using the 4GB Patch:

This resolves Bug #34658 as it gives the game enough virtual memory that it no longer hangs:

With the Steam version this would not work because of the DRM, saving me from having to mess around with ugly patch hacks on Wine itself to get the same effect. Just in case you needed another reminder on why fighting DRM is important.
There seems to exist another work-around. According to the last comment in the bug report you mentioned you won't need to patch the executable when using SteamPlay/Proton (with the Linux version of Steam), but just have to use PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1. The entry here https://www.protondb.com/app/8850 (Original) seems to confirm this. The remastered version does not need this work-around https://www.protondb.com/app/409720
(I haven't tried this myself.)

I confirm the PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 for the original Bioshock 2
I did one of the reports.

Using the Steam version with vanilla wine and Steam for Windows probably wont work due to the reasons you gave. (Though not sure, I had patched my Dark Souls III executable for 21:9 support and the game still started fine using SteamPlay/Proton)
