Rendering was a bit glitchy but usable.
Main problem i've encountered was crash when trying to use some tools like color picker. It calls CreatePathGeometry1 from d2d1 and crashes due to use of null pointer. I checked wine sources and it is not implemented.
Wine: wine-6.22-380-g27584c14497 ( TkG Staging Esync Fsync )
System: Arch Linux
I got it to work with:
winetricks -q dotnet472
winetricks -q dxvk
winetricks win10
wine reg add "HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Avalon.Graphics" /v DisableHWAcceleration /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Adding reg fixed app being black with dxvk.

Affinity has options (command line and in Edit>preferences>Performance) to set which renderer is used. I would recommend to select „WARP“ which don’t use OpenCL, this could avoid lots of GPU related issues. Affinity Apps tend be overly sensitive to GPU driver and often crash on Windows, too.

I tried with a fresh wineprefix but without dxvk and it renders with less black artifacting. But as you encountered it does not let you create an image.
I can happily say that after compiling wine-staging 6.14 with rbernon's changes mixed in, that I can create a file and make changes in an image. Its actually incredibly performant.
However the one major draw back is the gui is black unless I resize the window and hold click down.
His work is a WIP branch however. I'm excited though! This is slowly coming to fruition!

appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=39311 for .
I did need to also add `winetricks corefonts` as well as run winecfg and set the OS to win10. And I installed dxvk and d9vk.
It runs, but that's about it, on my machine (nvidia card).
Its a buggy mess, graphics don't seem to refresh. It does respond to input though. I can get to the canvas, and splash screen that lets you open a new document.
After that it crashes after some amount of time.
I am using Affinity Photo v1.10.* on a fresh wineprefix.
