If it’s a mostly self-contained app, like a game or a utility, then Flatpak is just fine. If a Flatpak needs to interact with other apps on the host or, worst case, another Flatpak it gets tricky or even impossible. From what I’ve seen though, AppImage and Snap are even worse at this.
Flatpak doesn’t support dev device access no matter what I use flatseal and all the shabang, so bottles is useless to me for a lot of the wine applications I would like to “not emulate”

Worst case scenario there’s still the option of letting it escape the sandbox. This is how I made my CAD software integrate nicely with my slicer.
