Last time I checked for running Steam on FreeBSD, honestly, the procedure felt more "hack and patch" that I don't feel is something one would do for a production or regular use machine, except it is the only machine and you run FreeBSD as your main os regularly.
As performance, you haven't to expect much different than linux, most stuff is the same (X/Wayland).
I didn't found if today the situation is improved, or the procedure still messy.
