Earlier today Valve made a new depot for TF2 called “x64_linux_test”. Maybe this mean well get a native 64 bit client ( and hopefully DXVK instead of ToGL please Valve) or this is just server stuff

Bots are only really a problem on Valve servers. There are many active community servers out there that manage to detect and ban them.
