Thanks for your replies - they are really appreciated!
As to steam-native. Its been my experience that if something fails with steam-native, it will fail using steam. I've yet to come across something that works in steam but not steam-native. Which is surprising and a bit of a testament to the quality of Arch and Linux QA (maybe I am just lucky :-).
Agree with your assessment of my bluetooth issue. Mentioned it here since I figured others will probably encounter similar problems (I've previously gone through the arch bluetooth wiki, I'll look again :-/ )

Ok. One by one of your concerns. I would prefer the discussion to be made on the git repo for better tracking, but here we go:
I don't know. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, use STEAMCMD environment variable to override the steam command and thuss its options and let me know. I would expect it to break more often as the client is made on the premise it will run on its own runtime.
This is completely unrelated to Gamescope itself. Is just a compositor and this session only uses it to run steam like the SteamDeck would (in a more general way). You can automate those things using systemd, but consider reading the Bluetooth article on the ArchWiki on those issues and troubleshooting. The most simple solution I can think of is a one-shot systemd user unit launched at login that runs your script.

Looks like my bluetooth device ends up soft blocked. So to power it on it needs
rfkill unbock Bluetooth; bluetoothctl power on
Is there any place I can automate this when gamescope is starting?

Once I changed things to use networkmanager to start my connection it recognizes the wired connection. Thanks for the pointer.
Bluetooth is not working correctly though I do not think is your problem. Looks like a recent update broke bluetooth here in that bluetoothctl power on now longer works. Interestingly kde has no problem powering on the adapter...

I'd seen the example using .config/... Figured once I have the setup working I try that. Would you know if anyone is using it to start steam-native instead of steam?

lib32-libnm-1.40.12-1 is installed here. Is this a 32 bit part of networkmanager? If so then it may be that I use systemd-networkd to setup eth0, not networkmanager.

Probably you don't have lib32-libnm. Is not required by the session but steam client lists it as a optional dependency (in their jupiter flavor).
As for the session script I would recommend against modifying it directly. If you want to override the GAMESCOPECMD environment variable to acchieve the same result. Take a look at the Readme for the session.

I am able to get a steam session using this, but it does NOT recognize my wired ethernet connection. I have things setup so sddm start the session, while sddm is active, I can switch consoles and have used this to verify that systemd.networkd has setup my network correctly. There is no wifi connection on this PC.
PS. I also had to modify the gamescope-session-script's gamescope -O option to select the correct display (I have two, one DP 1140p, and HDMI 1080p), using the names from the drminfo command.
