Thank you for sharing the example.
Looking at your error, what version of FreeType are you running? I think it's up to 2.10.x now. I can't imagine your distro not having something newer installed than 2.0.5, but it's worth a shot.
When you run Proton outside the runtime it picks up the system libraries and if there's a mismatch you end up with problems.
I don't know if there's an easy way to solve this cleanly by using the runtime outside Steam but pointing LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the shipped libraries or installing the requested library version might be good enough.

Not to rant, but this is stupid simple in Lutris, I can't imagine why they decided to make this so hard in Steam. Doing this should just be a button press in Steam.
Come to think of it... If Steam is set up to start it's version of Wine and then run a specific .exe for the game, could we just fake the game; Rename our exe to the game exe (and obviously rename the game exe). I guess it depends on what program you want to run, one time mod or patch installers might work, but I think more complicated companion programs might not work.
Ofc, we have to switch back to play the game...
