Before that even becomes a question, it needs to be better than what Wine currently has. If that will even happen, it will be quite some time in the future.
Assuming the project is not being done purely for fun or research purposes, it's a question that needs to be asked before the project even begins. Vulkan doesn't do Direct Input, Sound, Networking etc. VK9 would have to at least work in conjunction with WINE if it is to be any use for playing games on Linux.

Tomb Raider on the 2600, that would be a feat of engineering.

For fans of retro racing games, Super Night Riders is like OutRun & Hang-On

Your closing paragraph is interesting because many of us that remember Hang-On will have the reaction times of a snail these days.

X-Plane user data shows Linux usage holding steady

Microsoft make their most contentious OS ever we also got Steam and yet Linux usage still remains proportional the same? How are these findings encouraging? These findings are an absolute disaster for anyone who believes that Linux desktop will ever hold a meaningful market share.

The developers of Solus are hoping to improve Linux gaming with snaps and their Linux Steam Integration

Solus is one of the most important Distros around right now. An amazing achievement for such a small team.

A bunch of Feral Interactive Linux ports may be broken on Arch and others, here's a possible workaround

Will be very interesting to monitor their response to this. It would put me right off paying full price for games if I thought their lifespan was severely limited. Feral Interactive seem like a good bunch though so hopefully things turn out well.
