With i install and play i get the same issue as you, vram filling up, framerate going down, ground texture going grey and if i alt-tab at that point the game crashes.
What i have done and works - at least in my case - is the following:
dxvk.conf with memory limit in …/steamapps/common/Diablo IV/
gamemoderun %command% in steam launch options
textures set to medium in game.
proton GE 9-15
I also have the high resolution assets disabled in the dlc options in steam.
I can play fine with these, vram never goes above the limit i have set in dxvk.conf. I am doing this on endeavour, default kernel (not zen), 12500H and a 8GB 4060.
The limit i set is at 6GB for the vram. The only difference might be that this is a laptop with igpu so anything else OS related is rendered on the igpu and i don’t use a second monitor. It plays fine and i can alt-tab without issues.
