Yes, this is indeed a replacement for the proprietary driver. However, Vulkan 1.0 is the most basic version of Vulkan. Right now we are at 1.3, plus there are many Vulkan extensions which need to be implemented aside from the core version.

In other words, this is a good start, but with only Vulkan 1.0 you won't be able to use something like DXVK, for running DirectX games with Proton/Wine.

For what it is worth, the blog post claims that 1.3 compatibility is not too far away, "We're not very far off from being able to advertise Vulkan 1.3 but it's all compiler work between here and there."
