Share AMDGPU-Pro drivers with distrobox?

Hey there I have a question about sharing AMDGPU-Pro drivers from the host with the distrobox.

From the docs it reads that GPU sharing is working by default on AMD and Intel. But I am uncertain if this only applies to the open source drivers rather then the closed source driver. Which is totally fine given the fact that most ppl will not use the closed source AMD drivers on Linux anyway.
However in case someone does, is there a similar way in sharing the proprietary AMDGPU-Pro drivers with the distrobox as like with the proprietary nvidia driver. eg. --nvidia but something like --amd-pro ?

Background is: I once made a tutorial video about how to install DaVinci Resolve on Linux and showed how to setup a Rocky Linux 8 distrobox, install Resolve and than run it. However multiple ppl had trouble follow the tutorial steps and it turned out they tried it on AMD hardware. I then found out that Resolve in fact does support AMD on Linux but only using AMDGPU-Pro not the open source driver stack.

I then spun up my Steam Deck as it is the only AMD GPU system I own and tested it myself and ran into some issues.

• Installing the AMDGPU-Pro drivers into the distrobox does not work as the Rocky Linux Kernel does not match the host kernel and hence the amd driver installer could not install the required kernel development headers from the Rocky Linux repos to install the AMDGPU-Pro drivers
• Therefore I assume some needs to go a similar route as with nvidia. Install the closed source driver into the host and then share it with the box. Is this even possible with the AMDGPU-Pro drivers?
• Outside of the Resolve distrobox I have little use for the closed source AMD drivers hence I never tried to install the AMDGPU-Pro driver onto the Steam Deck and possibly break everything. Therefore I thought I'd ask first here.
• An alternative would the to choose a container distro matching the host distro as then the user would be able to install the AMDGPU-Pro drivers just fine as the development headers from the repos match the running host kernel. However installing Resolve on anything else than Rocky Linux 8 is mildly infuriating to say at least. Even on Rocky Linux 9 which is just a tiny bit newer than 8. Which might be due to the fact that Blackmagic design only supports Rocky Linux 8 officially.

So here am I. Is this even possible or is without an additional distrobox feature all hope lost?

Kind regards,
V.

To answer my own question. Some can install ROCm inside the box without DKMS and things will work.
An init_hook could look like this for a Rocky Linux 8 box:

init_hooks="sudo dnf install https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/6.3.1/rhel/8.10/amdgpu-install-6.3.60301-1.el8.noarch.rpm -y && sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=rocm --no-dkms -y"

Tested this with DaVinci Resolve on a Rocky Linux 8 distrobox container. AMD GPU acceleration is then available.
