New to Steam deck.
From searching around ProtonDB, it seems like Proton GE outperforms regular proton in just about everything and experiences less crashes.
Is there any case where it shouldn’t be used? Or should I force it on every game.

Yes. You shouldn’t use GE Proton for most Steam games. It takes more disk space and doesn’t provide any significant benefits. Especially, you shouldn’t be using it for Verified/Playable games, since those games have been tested on a well supported Proton version and there may be regressions in GE Proton since it’s a community project and not tested as well.
Great answer… thank you.
Only one instance but American Truck Simulator is verified and switching to ProtonGE literally doubled my performance if not more. Anecdotal and one off but don’t apply it as a fast rule that verified couldn’t benefit.
That’s because by default it runs the linux version which is terrible. If you switch protonGE to experimental it will be the same.
