From my very non-scientific tests on an AMD 6800U device, running steam via Bazzite + distrobox gave me a 0-2fps boost versus running steam on uBlue Kinoite with Flatpak. Mangohud was slightly easier to manage with Bazzite's distrobox setup. I did not test power consumption between the two for mobile gaming.
