I'm far from an expert but I believe Proton is specifically intended to provide compatability with Windows gaming tech like DirectX.
For regular non-game software you don't need that tech, you can just run it through Wine itself (Proton is built on Wine). Bottles is actually what I see recommended these days (it simplifies management of Wine prefixes) and supposedly many apps can run in a few clicks.
