Steam reports fatal error with missing OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display since December 6th

There is possibly another bug related to the classic driver cleanup, as I get the following error since 6th December and Mesa 22.0.0-devel (git-3580ffaa) when trying to start Steam (the snippet was taken from steam-native, but it also shows up with other steam runtimes I tried):
