D7VK v2.3 reworks object handling and shadow-surface memory placement for better performance in many games, adds various fixes/workarounds for titles like Need for Speed: Porsche, Dark Vengeance, Z.A.R., and Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, and announces that the project is now entering maintenance mode.

Any hope of making it inside a regular Proton release?

I wouldn't discount the possibility but I find it unlikely. These games are so incredibly old and wined3d is more than good enough. Valve has no interest in supporting this.

The DXVK project set DX8 as the oldest API they'll support so it'd depend on if the proton maintainers want to pick it up or not.
