Well, shit. Unfortunate news from the Vinegar Discord: Roblox will block Wine in future releases.

This is going to end my "Steam Deck as a primary desktop PC for my kid" experiment.

What if I don't want to use windows? What if I find windows to be buggy and unstable and all around just unpleasant to use? What if I don't want to have to reboot my PC or my deck every time I get the slightest urge to play shitty simulators or one of the millions of backrooms games?

I wonder if it's possible to get running via waydroid, ofc, not really an option on SteamOS, but outside of that.

Why not realy an option on SteamOS?

You need the binder kernel modules such as binder_linux which aren't included in the SteamOS kernel as well a needing to config up systemd services, etc.
Updating SteamOS will break all this do to it's image based "immutable" nature.
