Here's how you skip the launcher
--launcher-skip

Add that to the launch options under properties in steam.
For me, it did not fix the problem with the steam overlay or fps counter not working.

Odd.
I ran a test, starting a new game using both methods. GPU is a 3080. Graphics settings are all individually maxed out. My GPU is running between 50-80% as I spin the camera, with something like 60% vram being used. It's approximately the same starting it with or without the launcher. If I had to pick one that performed worse, it'd be the startup with the launcher... but not by much, if at all.
I'm uncertain what's causing the issue for you, but that's very strange. I don't see why the launcher would have anything to do with the in-game graphics card usage.

Your GPU usage should ideally be at 100% (if FPS is uncapped), or else you're bottlenecking some where.
