Yes, I know (that's why I wrote "the Windows version"), but would you put it into production with your own WINE/Proton package?

Yes, again, I know, and I think you know what I mean by my example, I had no other example of a major Microsoft dedicated application that came to mind. ;)
I don't think it's fair to compare freebsd's Linux compatibility layer to Wine.
I've been running on freebsd a lot of Linux binaries of closed source software 20 years ago and it always worked flawlessly for me. Even desktop stuff like Opera (yes, the one with adds in main window). At the time Wine could run some more trivial programs sometimes, and usually crashed anyway. Wine improved a lot but IMHO it's still unfair to compare those.
First of all, only the Linux containers are supported for SQL Server, using Windows containers has been deprecated, and no longer documented
