For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I've played WoW on Linux for twenty years. Blizzard has always said they unofficially support Linux. Occasionally the Blizzard launcher will have an issue, but Blizzard fixes it right away. All that to say, you should 100% have high expectation for WoW on Linux.
I use bottles to run Blizzard games with the latest Soda runtime. But as others mentioned, it's probably the integrated gpu that's getting selected. If you didn't use the automatic installer, (Lutris, bottles, etc., all have auto installers) for the blizzard launcher I'd suggest going back to that. But likely it's just the gpu selection.
