I believe thatbis the point of GOG Galaxy, otherwise you can just use the native installers.

Hopefully they add Wine/Proton integration like Steam and Heroic have.

Well not only that. The client is there to auto update your games, and provide a friends list for social messaging in example. I also hope they integrate Wine, Proton and maybe other variants. Otherwise a Linux client would be pointless to me.

I've never used GoG Galaxy, does it have cloud saves? If so that's really nice and I might start using it.

Yes, some games have cloud saves, and gog also adds cloud saves to some old games like s.t.a.l.k.e.r or Thief gold.
