I use it in flatpak, and controllers work properly. The biggest downside to flatpak is that I don't know how to debug it when things go wrong, but so far, nothing has gone wrong enough for me to move away from flatpak for the last 3 years.

Usual debug pattern for flatpak is

flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

on the command line, there's also log files down in ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/logs.

But I also have never needed to use it in anger, great when things just work, no?
