So the primary reason I'm going with Ubuntu is because my VPN is Proton and
So I'm afraid it might not run on anything else. The other stuff I want to run, Qbittorrent and eventually the *arrs, will probably run on anything. And it looks like I'll probably need Docker anyway. So the real constraint right now driving the OS choice is Proton.
You do not need the ProtonVPN App. You can simply use OpenVPN logins provided by ProtonVPN, they should have a section telling you how you can do it.
Go it!

This is shaping up to be a much harder project than I thought
If you use docker with portainer (for the GUI), you can set up the gluetun container with your protonvpn account and run all your other containers through that as their network. It's as simple as adding
network_mode: service:gluetunto your stack configuration for each container.
Makes sense. I suspect it may still not work due to Proton likely being compiled for Intel, rather than ARM chips.
If you run into that, you may be able to work around it by logging into the Raspberry Pi, cloning the source code and installing: (if you're able to get that to work, it'll likely work equally well on Ubuntu or Raspbian). But it's not for the faint of heart, they (Proton) don't include many details, so it looks like there will be a lot of learning about their tool chain. https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app#installation
(Edit: Since ProtonVPN is Python based, it may be fine, as long as there's not too much C in the project. If it works immediately, my gut feeling is it will also work fine on Raspbian, if you need to switch for any other reasons.)
