Wine crashed once, but was smooth after that.
Significant Bugs:
The EA app did not allow Steam Remote Play. So had to replace it with EA Origin. Remote Play worked fine after that.

Remove EA app. Replace with EA Origin. Also had to use the "F-Off EA" application.
Follow the steps below if you want to enable Remote Play on Steam with a Linux host
Before starting, make sure the game is turned off.
- Download Origin from https://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe
- Download Protontricks. I installed the Flatpak version
- Run Protontricks and select "A Way Out"
- Select "Install arbitrary .exe file". Don't install the Origin version recommended by Protontricks
- Origin should start. Login to your Origin account (EA login). Origin will ask you to update. Quit the process
- Download "Fuck Off EA App" from https://github.com/p0358/Fuck_off_EA_App. Select the .exe from the latest release only
- Like Step 4, again install this .exe. Remember to select "Pretend EA App is installed" during the installation process.
- Add the launch prefix
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%in Steam - Launch the game. Now Remote Play should work.
Enjoy!

Significant Bugs:Yes
Game does not launch in Wayland with an nvidia GPU. I switched to xserver and game ran perfectly. Also, the launch options is probably not required.
Keep track of what display server you are using while playing games.
