Research direction
Start by reproducing the controller-input failure with xinit /usr/bin/steam -- :1, comparing affected Proton games with Steam itself and native games. Trace the controller path used when Steam runs on the separate X server; done means controller input works in the affected Proton games without regressing the working cases.
