To me Bazzite is for game-box console-like PC you leave in your living room. If you want to also have a desktop experience, pick a desktop OS. EndeavorOS for rolling release. Anything Ubuntu or Debian based for stability. LMDE comes to mind.
In any event running games through steam/proton will be mostly plug and play anyways. Kernel mods are a thing but pretty much just extra and not really necessary.
This is a great start, I’m using arch on my laptop which has been working for me but sometimes I spend more time troubleshooting settings than actually doing anything productive.
And yea I hear a lot of good things about Bazzite but the form-factor feels maybe just a bit too steam-machine/game oriented.
i think they have installed too many extensions to the desktop environment to make it appear console-like, but i disabled almost all of them and use mine for development and everything desktop-oriented
it just happens to do gaming flawlessly at the same time unlike many other distros i’ve tried over the years

Bazzite is great for a desktop PC
bazzite is a perfect desktop os and development os and is also a rolling release
and you can rollback releases unlike most other distros, in the unlikely event you have a bad update

Bazzite isn’t really limited in any way, there are just different ways to do certain things because it’s immutable.
Assuming that’s what your meant by “form factor.” Aside from that, it just runs like any other distro with KDE
