On my 3070 when I tried it was fine. Vulkan and DX11 or lower games were great but DX12 saw a performance hit pretty much across the board. For example ive been playing through the last of us part 1 on steam and it ran ultra no issues under windows but under linux it had to be set to low to maintain 60. Uncharted and spiderman were great on both windows and linux so maybe it was just that game. Anti cheat also wont work most of the time. If you play things like cod, siege, apex, fortnite, gta online or anything like that its a no go but you could also dual boot just for those games if you wanna play them that bad. Seeing as you dont play many games and dont like messing with drivers Id say go for it. Drivers are less of a hassle on linux than windows imo since linux will get everything automatically and will auto update them along with the system.
