If I have an encrypted Linux partition and a Windows partition that I use as a bootloader into Riot’s games, what are the drawbacks of installing their kernel level anticheat?

Realistically a good starting point to read up on could be about admin privileges. Or ring 0 in software. It basically boils down to the fact that anything that is running as root ( or with admin privileges) can read and write to ANY file it wants to. Effectively having full control over the system.
In other words it could be used to do anything they want with your pc. An example of that actually happening is the anti Cheat that genshin impact is using because that was exploited in that way already.
I know about ring 0, I just assumed UEFI would be off the disk and inaccessible to any software.

Do you have some further reading on the active exploit of Genshin Impact’s anti-cheat?
