I’ve got some PS2 games to run well, some don’t run well at all. Anything below that is great.
So what I’ve got is: NES, SNES, Genesis and Master System, PS1, PSP and then PS2 as a hit and miss.
I’ve not tried anything aside from those yet on the Steam Deck.

Yeah, don’t take this guy face value. These systems don’t emulate excellently at all. It definitely emulates perfectly up to GameCube and PS2 though.

Sorry, I had responded but also missed the "Steam Deck" qualifier. To be clear, the poster you're responding to is absolutely right in general terms, but performance will be an issue for 360 and probably PS3 on the Deck.

It depends on the game. Dolphin seem to be struggling with movie tie-in Gamecube games still judging by some of their blog posts. There was some awful game called Haunted Mansion or similar that they couldn’t get working because playing it to find the bugs was such a chore.

No, he's pretty much right on the money. It takes a bit more performance and the setup is much harder and more annoying, since there's a bunch of encryption and account stuff to spoof, but short of annoying compilation stutters, most modern gaming PCs can manage it.
Compatibility depends on the system. The PS Vita is very spotty, 360 isn't fully there, but WiiU and Switch are nearly perfect and PS3 games are much more likely to work than not.
