It's working now. Thank you!
Hopefully the work is coming along nicely; I've recently seen people being able to play Apex very briefly[1] under Wine and/or Proton, but it was a short lived victory, as it went back to not working anymore following a Wine update.
However, as far as I understand, Valve isn't working with EA on this issue. Rather, they're working with EAC and BattlEye themselves directly to make these anti-cheats work. I also don't think EA is greenlighting native Linux ports of their games any time soon, sorry to say. Wine or Proton will be the way to run the game once it's working, unless a miracle happens and EA smiles upon us Linux users.
So with that in mind this isn't quite the place to ask, but hopefully I managed to clear things up anyways =)

It worked in 2019 (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Latest-update-breaks-game-through-Wine-Linux-compatibility-layer/m-p/7434487#M4026), and EAC works right now in Wine for some other games.
So I'm pretty sure that the roadblocks are here.
As far as I know EAC already supports Linux they just have to implement the version into this game and it'll work on Linux just fine.
