This is great but would need to run on windows for the typical mumble use-case of gaming.

It would also be great to have this running on ESP32 or similar, so you could make dedicated IP desk intercoms - I envisage a star-trek style intercom, with each button being a channel that you can join by pushing it in (can join multiple simultaneously).

You can game on Linux just fine.

You can certainly play a number of popular and/or high quality games on Linux, but it's hardly ubiquitous. If you're interested in a given specific game I would say your odds of it having a viable Linux experience are worse than 50/50 yet, and if it's a AAA title I'd say it's closer to 10-25% IME.

If not for Valve/SteamDeck this would be even more dire, and many of those experiences are still emulation-based i.e. Proton.

If you want to be able to play any given computer game being sold this year, that's only reasonably certain on Windows. Gaming is the only reason I still have a Win10 install.
