Starting to think there is a Blizzard problem on the updates. Downloads probably an issue because of global launch of WotLK today, everyone trying to download this and some other content that also dropped. But underneath everything, I noticed that WoW updates fail with a consistent problem:

I have tested this evening these runners: lutris-5.7, lutris-7.2-2, lutris-7.2-fshack, wine-7.17-staging-tkg, wine-5.20, wine-6.23, wine-7.0, Wine-7.2, wine-7.17 (system), wineHQ-7.17 (staging) and lutris-GE-Proton7-29.
Looking at just vanilla 7.17 vs 7.17 Staging, vanilla 7.17 goes into an immediate agent.exe crash loop when the client is launched. With staging, agent.exe launches and it is possible to initiate a new download. What isn't working is updating WoW. I have reported the error to Blizzard as it also happened with WotLK when it 99% downloading.

You keep mentioning the global launch happened but it hasn't. Launch isn't until next week, Sept. 26. It is Sept 20 right now. And the prepatch has been out for over a week now. This is unrelated to any launches.
Also I believe the 404 or connectivity issues are related to be certificates. If it can't setup the certificates properly, it can't make connections to the servers that expect those certificates to exist. Or if it can't verify the certificates, it doesn't trust them and will cause issues.
I believe the original errors related to bmime and ocsp are probably the main issue, and the rest is just a side effect of that.
If I have time today, I will try to run wine with all the logging set to maximum verbosity and see if I notice anything in the deluge of output.
