I've been NVIDIA user since forever but would gladly switch if at least partly-OSS AMD driver with complete power management, Vulkan support and a decent backwards-compatibility appeared.

Nothing wrong with ogg per se, the problem is mp3 radio streams. It seems ogg radio streams (tried transcoding) were not supported either last time I tried

This is using the same engine as ETS2. Regardless of steam workshop mods do exist for ETS2 and they work on linux just fine. Well mostly.. there are some glitches and other issues with some models that somehow break in OpenGL mode but the fault-tolerance in DX swallows them fine.

As for ATS mods, some small (or low-quality) mods have already appeared AFAIK.

The problem with ATS is an atrocious scale of 32.5:1 and the snail's pace of SCS development. They are better now than stock ETS2 for sure but silly things like traffic lights on a highway are still there. Not that map modders are very eager to fix it. Good development takes time and the investment is arguably worth it.

ETS2+Promods mod will be more than enough for me.

Linux usage on Steam is better than people think

Normally I'd day Steam Survey is rubbish and those changes are insignificant anyway. Just so happens that I got the survey this time again after a year or more.
