Crashes when trying to loading videos, fixed with Hawkheart's custom ProtonGE
Missing voices, fixed with XAudio2_9
Works fine with following: Hawkheart's custom ProtonGE for videos fixes. NuGet XAudio2_9 dll for voices fixes
I've followed totobono4's advice, which is likely the post below this, and it all worked flawlessly! Gonna copy and paste here again in case anyone needs it.
Works fine with following : Hawkheart's custom ProtonGE for videos fixes, I followed these instructions (native steam install for Steam Deck). NuGet XAudio2_9 dll for voicelines fixes, followed instructions from this Steam discussion.
The links should be identical, so I just downloaded all the files and got it working.
The launch settings page is a bit annoying, but Steam+RightTrackpad will allow you to use mouse and click launch.
Thanking totobono4's post again for helping me!
The game crashes after a few minutes and won't load anymore

I used the specific custom Proton-GE "Anonymous;Code" by Hawkheart, which is linked to on this GitHub issue page: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7083 Note that this custom proton uses libraries that require Vulcan 1.3 support and will crash the game on launch if your video driver setup is too old. I also added the XAudio dll file, but cannot say for certain if it is actually required. I played through the entire game without the CoZ patch.
Requires a custom build of Proton GE for video playback and the Committee of Zero ANONYMOUS;CODE Improvement Patch. The xaudio 2.9 stuff is NOT needed anymore with Version 1.0.1 of the patch! Game works flawlessly now. Both can be found here: https://sonome.dareno.me/projects/ac-patch.html
Requires xaudio 2.9 for functional dialogue audio. Requires a custom install of Proton GE for video playback, courtesy of Hawkheart. These are the custom Proton GE install instructions, the version included above is based on GE-Proton8-25, and it is worth noting the version file in this custom build currently still refers to itself as 8-25 (important for any logging you might want to do). Specific technical details on the creation of this custom GE version can be found here. While there is also a gamefix script aimed at ANONYMOUS;CODE's voice issues, I personally cannot recommend it, as it is unstable / inconsistent, oftentimes outright becoming dysfunctional again after the player uses the game's "skip" function to some extent. The Committee of Zero patch functions perfectly under the Custom GE and xaudio 2.9. It is possible that the patch will be updated in the future to supply xaudio. My testing was done both with and without this patch.
Still requires XAudio DLL to be included in the game files as indicated in previous reports
Voicelines still won't work without XAudio DLL fix
Recent updates fixed sound issues and crashes. (Used with Proton 8.0-3, no launch options, played for an hour)
Videos do not play
Videos still do not play, so no opening movies and no Save & Load video sequence.

Download this package https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.XAudio2.Redist/ Grab xaudio2_9redist.dll from /build/native/release/bin/x86/ Rename it to "XAudio2_9.dll" and put it into the game folder
Voices were completely missing until using the workaround
Videos are not playing
Using the mentioned DLL fixes the crash during the first manga cutscene. The problem with the videos is that AC is a 32bit application and Proton is using a 64bit prefix, which affects gstreamer. Videos could be watched outside of the game with a workaround

No voices until I added the custom command line
Always crashes during the first manga style cutscene.

You need to get XAudio2_9.dll from Microsoft: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.XAudio2.Redist/
Unzip the file xaudio2_9redist.dll from downloaded package. Go to "/build/native/release/bin/x86/" inside the archive and extract the file. Put it in the game folder, then rename it to "XAudio2_9.dll"
Set TDP to 5 Set GPU clock to 500
Audio voice does not play unless adding XAudio2_9.dll
Performance is great, only that voice acting is gone and additional .dll files should be downloaded to play the game properly

Unspoken text instantly finshes regardless of text speed
Frequent crashes, esp. at Manga Triggers
Unspoken text instantly finshes regardless of text speed
Recommend using Glorious Eggroll and the current Beta Branch.
You'll need to set your launch options to this to get audio working:
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE %command%
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
Voice clips don't play.
minor font rendering issues
Game froze twice in the short period I played.
Use 'GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE %command%' to get voice acting to work.
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE %command%
No voicelines will play without custom launch options
Just make sure to use the latest Proton GE version and have "GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE %command%" set as the launch settings. Copied from CoZ Discord (posted by DaryKiri).

Audio Voice does not play unless you disable protonaudioconverterbin
Sometimes the game freezes this may be because of the audio of the voices
Without voices and with crashes it is on the edge of playability, rare gamer will enjoy that.
No voices (both EN and JP), just popping sound at beggining of phrase. Maybe some sound effect too, not sure here.
Unavoidable crashes. The faster I am skipping dialogues the earlier (by dialogues count) crash is happening.
Same problems with proton experimental and proton hotfix.
Game crashes on start with Proton 7.x.x and below, only current major version 8.x.x will start it properly.
Voices are completely gone Japanese and English alike
A few FPS dropdowns during the very first scene of the game
