Agreed, I'm not sure the Deck has the performance necessary to make it work well.
I got it running on my chrultrabook but its NOT fast (installing o365 took 6 hours for example). You'd be pretty period limited to only games prior to around 2014 based on memory limitations.
Personally? I'm a nutter, so I'd have at it just for shits and giggles to see if it'd work then immediately proceed to abuse my newfound power.
I have WinApps running on the little Dell PC I have at work. It's only an i3 with 8Gb RAM, but it's ok with Apple Music and MS Office apps. I wouldn't want to seriously run any games through it, mind.
