What is the current state of VR in Linux? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm a Windows 10 user hoping to switch to Linux over Windows 11. One of my common uses for my computer is VR, via a Valve Index. Is this going to be a problem for me? I know historically, its been pretty bad, and ProtonDB shows very mixed ratings, but I also know Linux has been improving fast so am hoping that others will disagree with that.

I've been using an Index with NVidia and never encountered this flickering. SteamVR has always worked flawlessly on most games. Except for controller issues but those are more on the game developer (only supporting/testing meta hw) and no support for bluetooth and the front camera's.
