This plugin allows two decks to connect directly to one another, allowing multiplayer lan games to work without any wifi network available.

That's useful enough to think it really should be incorporated into SteamOS.

I think there may be security concerns since the deck is a PC and not ultra-locked-down like the switch

Steam Deck's OS is immutable. It's pretty "locked down" already, although not quite as much as a Switch.

I am aware. It's trivial to enable mutability though and you can still have userspace infections.
