Wait, but the three games you listed all work great on Linux. I'm confused. I am a few hours into BG3, I play LoL a few times a week, and I know WoW works because I played a ton of Hearthstone and Overwatch a few years back and those were some of the first games working well with DXVK. So I know Battle.net games usually work great.

I am looking at the Linux benchmarks because that is what I use. I count 11-4 in favor of Chrome and/or V8 with one that’s a tie. For the record I use LibreWolf which is based on Firefox, but it is definitely noticeably slower in my experience.

This is somewhat beside the point but I'd argue there's not even a reason to use Firefox on Windows so those benchmarks are irrelevant entirely. If you're not willing to move away from Windows (a near-monopoly that collects your data) what is the point of moving away from Chrome (a near-monopoly that collects your data). It's extremely half-assed.

Unless I'm missing something it seems like Chromium still wins in the vast majority of tests, some by over double or even triple the speed/score.

You're right. And even disregarding always online and/or GaaS elements if it's anything like the other two PAYDAY games there is pretty much no reason to play it offline. It is a co-op game through and through.

Plex and JMP both use mpv under the hood, so the only difference is going to be playback settings. I am pretty sure the profile=gpu-hq setting enables debanding so that is probably the culprit. Your mpv example is noticeably smoother so that is some really heavy-handed debanding while Plex goes for something more balanced.

The JMP is probably exactly how the source looks so ideally you should find a better source that doesn't have banding in the first place. That is some really bit-starved video. But if you want debanding you could try adding an mpv.conf file to JMP and try some different deband settings. The defaults by adding deband=on should be enough but you can also mess with the threshold/range/grain options if necessary.

In the future if it is something you are really worried about it is normal to have subdomains for each docker container using something like nginx proxy manager. It is really easy to setup and you can have cookies for teddit.example.com and radarr.example.com separately.

I would highly recommend that you pay the extra and get the Quadro P400. NVENC is much easier to work with and AMD's encoding quality in general is really poor in comparison. Also the Pascal cards like the P400 have the 6th gen NVENC encoder while Kepler cards like the K620 only have 4th gen so a huge quality difference there as well. And while neither can encode or decode AV1, the K620 can't decode HEVC while the P400 can. So if you have any 4K content you actually can't go any lower.
