This is sometimes the case, however I will say most fields have an emergency Classmates on hand in the event this happens, they can switch out the computers so you can still drive for a match (dashboards may not work).
Wine is a unique way to run, I would be worried about the performance and a larger control lag in a competition environment.
If it works, it works. If it doesn't, you don't have a normal installation and not much support is available. This has been attempted in the past but since it isn't widespread I'm not sure if it has worked out so well.
