Adding to this, I asked Toneboosters
We are aware of an issue with Wine; modern Windows software requires Direct2D feature set v1.3 or up, while Wine only supports DIrect2D up to v1.2. This is why you see a black screen. Direct2D 1.3 was introduced in 2015 already, so the best path forward would be for Wine to start supporting Direct2D v1.3 that has been around for 10 years. Unfortunately nothing we can do - we cannot go back to earlier versions of Direct2D unfortunately as that would severely impact Windows performance of our plugins.Best regardsToneboosters.com
Not sure if this could help find a workaround, but I think it can't work as is...
It's possible that Toneboosters have converted to JUCE8. You can check that by finding the .vst3 file (not the directory containing the file).
strings TB_Morphit_v1.vst3 | grep 'JUCE v'
For me that give an output like this
JUCE v7.0.7
Assuming the vst3 is JUCE7 you're probably fine. If it's JUCE8 ask them for a previous build based on JUCE7.
To get their plugins to work I needed dxvk in my wine prefix. You can install that with winetricks
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix wintetricks dxvk
If you're installing everything in a single wineprefix e.g. ~/.wine that's probably a bad plan if you want to install lots of different plugins they all have slightly different an conflicting needs.
Assuming the vst3 is JUCE7 you're probably fine. If it's JUCE8 ask them for a previous build based on JUCE7.
Yep, it's JUCE8. Thanks
Then it's a part of this bug, which is a wine or dxvk/vkd3d issue, rather than a yabridge issue.

I've had success getting previous builds based on JUCE7 from developers, if one exists.
Toneboosters now have linux versions of the majority of their plugins. They work well.
