I've installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here's a guide.
I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I'm playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??

But what are the current alternatives? Really seems like the options are either using Emudeck or a whole lot more work

Unfortunately I don't have an external link about it, can only pin point a quite lenghty conversation and support request I had with a couple of the PCSX2 developers that happened in their Discord server. You can jump to the start of the conversation (if you are in the PCSX2 Discord server) using this link.
The conversation started after I asked them for support for the render window not taking the whole screen when attached to a 4:3 monitor, and told me about why they don't support at all PCSX2 installs made my Emudeck. Duckstation appears to also not support Emudeck for the lack of cooperation from the project.

Any good alternative to try? Can you post some link about this issues??

I had a game break on me after an update. Turned out on investigation the game was using proto experimental and somethin that stopped. I reverted to latest numbered Proton release and it started working again.
Good luck

-emulation station is just the frontend and doesn't do any emulating itself. Did you mean emu deck?
-that's why I always preferred retro deck, which installs as a flat pack over the discover app (basically a form of an "app store") and isn't impacted by any steam deck updates

Maybe someone can help me out. I have EmulationStation installed and for GBA and 3DS games, it works perfectly. Zero complaints. The issue is for some reason N64 games won't work after r a Steam Deck update. Without fail, every single time I update my Deck, N64 games refuse to open. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting.... I've been able to install an N64 game, add it to Steam, play it in Gaming mode and everything works fine. Just refuses to let me open any N64 game after an update.

Emudeck is heavily discouraged and unsupportorted by a good number of emulator dev teams for refusing to cooperate with them. Emudeck builds configuration files for you, not shying away from not recommended settings and causing issues in some emulators and games.
Also, some emulators have their source code edited and the changes are not documented/not public.
