Will they ever fix the Steam Runtime to run with open source graphics drivers?

When you run the Vulkan drivers, do they function well/normally with the desktop and other games, or do you have to switch back to other drivers when you're not testing Vulkan?

I'm glad they addressed this. The overlay is a big feature of Steam. Having said feature come with a 20% FPS penalty would knock much of the shine off the shiny new Vulkan API when using Steam.
