Has anyone tried WinBoat with mod loaders, or system monitors like FPSVR? (lemmy.ca)

I've been hearing some good things about WinBoat, so I am wondering if anyone has tried to use it with game mod loaders. Like the windows version of Satisfactory Mod Manager (I know there is a linux one that works perfectly and exactly like the windows version but as this is a very popular game maybe someone did it this route) or, the one I am really interested in right now, Raft Mod Loader. Raft Mod Loader page suggests 1. Bottles and less recommended 2. straight wine. I would like to use a single solution for most of my windows carry overs, ie; steam is one stop for ~90% of my games flat and VR, lutris is one stop for 2 non steam games atm, but I am uncovering more as I go.

I also have 2 windows only apps for VR - FPSVR and Desktop+(this is free), obviously they will not want to port their apps to linux for such a small user base. Has anyone tried these in WinBoat?

EDIT: So, yeah. For my needs this is a 20lb sledge hammer putting in a finishing nail

Does winboat have GPU support? Could be wrong but I was under the assumption that it works similarly to WinApps and can't have GPU passthrough to the virtualized windows install under the hood
