At the risk of getting myself in way over my head, does this new version of WINE deal with the prior bug(s) that we have been warned about regarding using Windows plugins via it?
I am about to give WINE a go & would hate to miss out on something new IF it works

I think you should get familiar with a stable wine-staging 6.2, get most of your win items working there, as provided in the default AVLinux, then install
Ubuntu Studio on and external drive, and add the new wine versions there as they appear. Low risk, high reward. If you get a lucky wine combo there, freeze it and use it without further updates, and let another external device repeat the process, perhaps focussing on getting a pipewire system stabilized.
