It would be good to upstream that variable override to Wine from Proton. And I
doubt such thing can be fixed in a generic fashion as above that will help all
use cases. Wine doesn't handle something like overrides with dxvk /
vkd3d-proton and such which can have their own RAM needs that differ from how
Windows does things. So simply having a switch gives some flexibility for those
who need it and it's easier than patching binaries.
