I will say, though, that still seems pretty lengthy and complicated to get working. ;) But I guess I only have to do it once.
Yeah it is. Though, if you’re doing sim racing and also modding a game it isn’t an inherently a plug and play situation even in Windows. :P
Most of the games I play are just ‘buy, click install on Steam, press play’.
The only other one that might be an issue is the 2Real traffic/pedestrian mods.
It looks like you can run the install.bat file in the wine prefix via protontricks and then copy the csp traffic tool, car pack and traffic/pedestrian.json files in the appropriate folders.
You may have to click the ‘Try to Fix’ button in the taskbar in Practice mode to auto-install the traffic mods, but this seems like something that you have to do on Windows too.

True, but I’m at least familiar with it.

All my games are installed on a non-OS drive. Will I have to re-download them, or will Steam automatically detect them once I point it to the directory?

The SteamLibrary folder will move over, no problem.
The drive being formatted as NTFS is the issue. Valve doesn’t recommend this with Proton/WINE for reasons. NTFS isn’t case sensitive, for example.
If you have the space to temporarily move your SteamLibrary elsewhere you can just format the drive to ext4 and move the folder back. (If not we are in one of those ‘30 different possible ways to solve the problem’ situations that was mentioned at the top of the comment chain :P)

No worries, good talkin’ to ya. :)
